Pineville Romance

Who said high school love doesn’t last?

Everyone with a functioning brain. Especially when the breakup came via a glittery “Dear Jane” greeting card featuring the single worst poem ever written inside.

Jane Willoughby squashed that card – and her feelings for Chance McGovern – the day she read it. Ten years later he’s back in Pineville: sexier, broader-shouldered, and now the assistant fire chief, complete with a cute kid and a messy divorce. Forgiveness? Hard pass. Even her cat, Cyclops, gives Chance his one-eyed murderous glare.

To be fair, Cyclops hates everyone. Jane is just choosing to see it as emotional support.

Chance is once bitten, twice shy. All he wants is a quiet life, stability for his son, and definitely no reminders of the stupid teenage mistake with the girl he never quite forgot.

But life, and some small-town meddlers, have other plans for them. Forced together to plan the annual Fireman’s Ball, Jane and Chance have a hard time keeping their relationship strictly professional. Chance is great at putting out fires… but the one they’re sparking? He might just decide to let it burn.

Putting Out Old Flames is a laugh-out-loud small-town rom-com about second chances, single dads, and one very grumpy cat. Full of meddling neighbors, forced proximity, and a smoking-hot firefighter who’s just as good at starting sparks as putting them out.

Author's Note: All of my books are 100% written by human quasi-intelligence. Never AI.
