AFTER WE BURN: A Steamy Enemies-to-Lovers Firefighter Romance with Redemption, Forced Proximity, and Healing

From the Ashes: A Healing Romance About Second Chances, Secrets, and the Fire That Changed Everything

🔥 She lost everything in the fire.
🔥 He broke every rule to save her.
🔥 Now they have to rebuild, side by side.

Six months after the wildfire that destroyed her art studio, muralist Lena Torres is barely holding herself together. Her hands won’t paint. Her nights won’t rest. And her heart won’t forgive the firefighter who risked everything to pull her from the flames.

Reid Callahan saved Lena’s life,
But breaking protocol cost him his career, his reputation, and a fellow firefighter’s life. Under investigation and stuck on desk duty, the last thing he wants is attention… or Lena’s resentment.

When the city forces them into a joint “Healing Walls” community project, neither of them can escape the past—or each other. As sparks turn into late-night confessions and reluctant touches grow into something deeper, they’re forced to confront what really survived the fire:
trust, desire… and a connection neither expected.

But the truth behind that night still smolders in the shadows.
And when it ignites, Lena and Reid will have to face the flames again,
or lose each other for good.
