Copper Ridge Firefighters #3
Flashover
Not yet published
Expected 24 Jul 26
Colton Wilder has a billion dollars, a media nightmare, and zero tolerance for small-town chaos.
When a revenge-fueled scandal threatens the construction empire he built from nothing, Colton escapes to Copper Ridge to personally oversee a luxury resort project and dodge the press. He expects control and privacy—not Laurel Finch.
Laurel is sunshine in muddy part-time EMT, full-time owner of Finch & Float, the river business her late father built. When Colton’s development threatens her land, she refuses to sell. When he gets injured on-site, she patches him up without a shred of awe for his money or power.
Then fate traps them together.
With his rental canceled thanks to the media circus, the only place left is a cabin on Laurel’s property. She needs the money. He needs the privacy. Neither wants the other in their space.
Copper Ridge won’t let Colton buy his way out of problems—and Laurel won’t let him hide behind his bank account. As sparks fly, he starts falling for a woman and a town that feel dangerously like home.
But when the scandal explodes, will he walk away…or finally stay and fight?
