Falling for the Firefighter: A Small-Town Halloween Sweet Romance

By: Emma Rivers

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In Lantern Grove, even the fire chief can't resist a little Halloween magic.

Chase Dalton thought he had his life figured out—protect the town, avoid complications, and definitely don't fall for the sweet paramedic who keeps bringing him coffee he pretends not to love. But in a place where jack-o'-lanterns line every street and ghost stories are taken seriously, even the most stubborn hearts can be surprised.

When Shelley Hawthorn isn't busy patching up scraped knees and soothing worried residents, she's wondering how to crack the shell of Lantern Grove's most dedicated—and most closed-off—fire chief. Their banter during emergency calls has turned into something warmer, and those stolen glances across the town square are getting harder to ignore.

But this October brings more than the usual pumpkin festivals and haunted hayrides. Someone is setting fires that threaten the town's most cherished traditions, and Chase and Shelley find themselves working closer than ever to keep their community safe. Between late-night calls and quiet conversations over pie at the diner, two careful hearts discover that sometimes the best things happen when you stop overthinking and start trusting.

Can a reserved fire chief learn that letting someone in doesn't mean losing control? Will a patient paramedic's gentle persistence finally pay off? And can their budding romance survive when danger comes calling during Lantern Grove's most magical season?

A cozy small-town romance where autumn leaves aren't the only things falling, and love blooms sweeter than any pumpkin spice latte.
