With a new flat above the local bookshop, Thorn & Thistle, and a job that lets her indulge her bookworm fantasies, Eiley is on the path to rediscovering who she is ā until her village of Belbarrow gets an annoyingly self-important new fireman called Warren, who it seems is always there to throw cold water on her plans.

As autumn leaves swirl and the village gears up for their annual fireworks display, Eiley must navigate the smoking chemistry between them while facing the ghosts of her past. She knows that sometimes love hurts ā but other times, it burns...
