When a fire chief falls for his nanny, love ignites in the ashes of tragedy.
He’s the town’s protector. I’ve never belonged anywhere long enough to need one.
When I lose a job I love and am left without a home yet again, the beautiful bed-and-breakfast is supposed to be a resting place until I find my footing.
But I wasn’t expecting Roman Ramsey.
He’s Ember Hollow’s fire chief and a single dad. When he asks for my help taking care of his daughter, I’m in no position to refuse.
I vow not to get attached, but I’ve never been one to keep such promises.
As his daughter burrows herself into my heart, it’s the fire chief who takes me by surprise. Roman is steady and dependable, with a quiet gentleness he never draws attention to. He’s the kind of man who shows up when people need saving, but I’ve spent my life learning how easily people move on once they don’t need you anymore.
When quiet nights, shared responsibilities, and an unexpected connection begin to blur the lines between us, suddenly belonging somewhere doesn’t seem so impossible.
But Ember Hollow is as haunted as it is magical, and when our sanctuary of the bed-and-breakfast is threatened by an escaped prisoner, my fragile hope comes crashing down around me.
Some promises are forged in fire—and loving Roman means facing the past we’ve both been running from.
Torched Promises is the fifth and final book in the Ember Hollow romance series—a small-town, single-dad, age gap romance about healing, home, and choosing to stay.
