Burn for You: Some Kitchens Are Too Hot to Leave.

Celebrity chef Simone Laurent commands every flame in her kitchen — until a string of false alarms sends firefighter Riley Hayes through her door. Simone is all razor-sharp ambition and lonely perfectionism. Riley is calm under pressure, newly out, and rebuilding her life after a marriage that taught her what love isn't. Their slow-burn attraction ignites over farmer's market mornings, midnight texts, and a private dinner that changes everything. But when Simone's empire demands a price Riley can't pay, both women must decide what's worth saving — the lives they've built alone, or the love that dares them to build something together.
