An NHL bad boy. A fire captain who couldn’t care less. Thirty days in a Vermont firehouse.

Evan Gardner is the kind of famous that makes entire rooms rearrange themselves around him. So when his agent sends him to Maple Creek to disappear for thirty days after a viral hot mic scandal tanks his biggest sponsorship deal, he expects the usual: awkward smiles, nervous laughter, someone asking for a selfie before he’s finished introducing himself.

Fire Captain Dottie Cline hands him a mop.

She doesn’t know who he plays for. She doesn’t care. She has a station to run, a town depending on her, and a dog currently attempting to steal his gym bag.

Dottie Cline might be the first woman in America who’s completely unimpressed by him.

Evan came to Maple Creek to keep his head down and avoid becoming internet headline number one again. Instead, he keeps ending up on emergency calls with Dottie, arguing with her in the station kitchen, and volunteering for jobs nobody asked him to do.

But she keeps looking at him like he’s just another guy.

Dottie has zero interest in celebrity drama, professional athletes, or temporary people. Maple Creek is built on people who stay, and Evan Gardner practically comes with an expiration date.

Falling for a famous hockey player is a terrible idea. Falling for one who has to leave in thirty days is worse.

Flirting in the Firehouse is a steamy small-town hockey rom com featuring:
🏒 Famous NHL player
🚒 Grumpy no-nonsense fire captain
❄️ Vermont small-town vibes
🔥 Forced proximity
❤️ Found family chaos
🐶 Dog-induced property crimes
🔥 Slow-burn tension with payoff

Step back into Maple Creek Vermont for a little taste of home town charm!
