Controlled Burn

🔥 Controlled Burn

A forbidden age-gap firehouse romance
by Roxy Ember™

She’s the rookie chasing her father’s legacy.
He’s the fire captain with everything to lose.
A single spark can ignite an obsession.

Talia Cross never meant to fall for her commanding officer. Captain Dean Maddox is married, disciplined, and twice her age—but he sees through her walls like smoke. And once lines are crossed, there’s no going back.

Their affair risks everything—careers, reputations, lives. But some fires burn too hot to contain.

In the Burn District, secrets don’t stay buried.
And desire doesn’t follow the rules.
