**Playing with Fire**
The Bad Boy of Engine Company 22, Book 1
Avery Wilder He's the firefighter who breaks every rule.
She's the journalist determined to expose him. Jake Jax Brennan is the legendary bad boy of Engine 22-tall, tattooed, green-eyed, and permanently smirking. He runs into burning buildings the same way he runs through relationships: full speed and without looking back. The crew is his found family-loud, loyal, and armed with endless pranks-but even they can't rein in the man who treats the rules like suggestions and commitment like a four-letter word. Nora Quinn has zero interest in falling for a hero. The ambitious reporter is embedded with Engine 22 to dig into the cowboy culture that gets people hurt... or killed. She's seen what happens when men treat risk like a personality trait, and she's not about to let charm, adrenaline, or a well-timed rescue rewrite the story she came to tell. Forced into close quarters for two full 24-hour shifts, Nora watches the chaos of firehouse life up close-the teasing, the tension, the way these people live in each other's pockets. Jax is determined to distract her. She's determined not to let him. But every call, every quiet midnight conversation, and every charged glance chips away at the walls they've both built. What starts as a battle of wills turns into something neither of them planned: heat that scorches, honesty that cuts, and the terrifying possibility that this time the risk might be worth taking. Packed with sizzling chemistry, emotional depth, found-family warmth, dangerous rescues, and the kind of banter that only comes from people who share the same showers and secrets, *Playing with Fire* is a high-heat enemies-to-lovers romance that will leave you breathless. Perfect for readers who love:
