Interview the Damaged Firefighter Next Door

A Small Town Single Dad Romance

By: Amelia Belle

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

I came for the story, but he’s the only truth I crave. He’s the town’s recluse, my grumpy neighbor, and a single dad with walls higher than the fire station. We’re chasing a lead, but the sparks flying over the fence are about to cause an inferno.

Sophia

Pine Hollow was supposed to be a quick assignment: get the scoop on the suspicious wildfires and get out.

I didn't plan on renting a cottage next door to the town’s most brooding resident.

Evan McAllister is rugged, rude, and hates everything I stand for.

He slammed the door in my face the moment he saw my press badge.

He’s protective, silent, and unfortunately, the most captivating man I’ve ever met.

Worse, he's the key to my story.

Now I’m living in his backyard, and the tension is impossible to ignore.

He thinks I’m just a nosy reporter digging for dirt, and I think he’s a stubborn jerk.

But when I see him with his little girl, the ice around his heart seems to melt.

I know I shouldn't mix business with pleasure.

But Evan is one secret I’m dying to uncover.

Evan

I have simple priorities: put out fires, raise my daughter, and keep the past buried.

Then Sophia moved in next door.

She’s a big-city reporter with too many questions and a smile that spells trouble.

She’s everything I don’t trust. A headline hunter wrapped in a beautiful package.

I should hate her. I want to chase her out of town.

But every time I see her playing with my daughter or working on her porch, my resolve crumbles.

Having her this close is testing every ounce of my control.

I’m supposed to be guarding my privacy.

But one look at her, and I’m ready to expose everything just to let her in.

THE HEAT I’ve spent years building walls, but Sophia is slipping right through them.

We aren't just battling a clash of wills; the arsonist I’m hunting is getting bolder, targeting the people I love.

With the investigation heating up and a threat closing in on my family, I have to choose:

My hatred for the press, or the woman who threatens to expose my secrets—and steal my heart.
