Smolder & Steel

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Some fires do not go out. They wait for the person you never stopped loving to walk back into the smoke. Gabe Maddox used to run toward flames. Now the scarred former firefighter keeps his life locked down, rebuilding burned construction sites and burying the guilt from the blaze that ended his career. Then Sloane Barrett arrives on his job site as the fire investigator assigned to a string of suspicious blazes—and the woman who once left him in the ashes of their past. Sloane came for evidence, not a second chance. But every accelerant trace, forged roster, and warning left in the smoke points toward something bigger: an organized arson network with ties to the fire that nearly destroyed Gabe. To expose the truth, Gabe and Sloane must work side by side, following the burn patterns through corruption, secrets, and danger that keeps closing in. The longer they chase the spark, the harder it becomes to deny what never really burned out between them. Trust has to be rebuilt beam by beam. Forgiveness has to be earned. And before they can claim a future, they’ll have to survive the people willing to let a city burn to protect their lies. Smolder & Steel is an emotional contemporary romantic suspense about a scarred hero, a relentless fire investigator, and the kind of second chance forged in smoke, steel, and hard-won hope.
