Grumpy Firefighter Next Door

A Slow-Burn Enemies-to-Lovers Romance

By: Luna Lovelace

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

He’s grumpy, guarded, and doesn’t do small talk.
She’s sunshine, sass, and just moved in next door.
Their sparks? Combustible.

When Hailey Carter relocates to her late aunt’s bungalow for a fresh start, she never expected her brooding neighbor to be a firefighter with a six-pack and a permanent scowl. Beckett Cole has one rule—keep to yourself. But his new neighbor’s laughter keeps slipping past his defenses, and her kindness burns hotter than any blaze he’s faced.

She bakes cookies. He avoids people.
She believes in second chances. He stopped believing in happy endings years ago.
But when a local emergency throws them into each other’s orbit, their friction turns into fire—and neither of them can put it out.

This slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance brings small-town charm, sizzling chemistry, and a grumpy firefighter who falls hard—once he lets himself feel again.

If you love forced proximity, found family, cinnamon roll heroes hiding under gruff exteriors, and heart-melting happy endings—this one’s for you.
