Embers in Autumn

Some embers burn hotter than the flames

After a brutal breakup, Amber traded city chaos for small-town quiet and opened a little bookstore in Maplewood Harbor. She promised herself she was done with men. Then Dean walked in, a firefighter with broad shoulders, a crooked smile, and a daughter who loves books as much as she does.
What starts with coffee and banter quickly turns into heated kisses, late-night texts, and the kind of passion Amber thought she had lost forever. Dean is steady, protective, and knows exactly how to set her body on fire. But letting him in means risking her heart all over again.

Embers in Autumn is a cozy, small-town romance full of falling leaves, found family, and open-door spice hot enough to fog the bookstore windows.
