spark book cover for a small town friends to lovers first responder romance

Some fires burn slow. Others change everything.

Sharalyn Curren is barely holding it together. Three years after losing her husband, she’s still running their family business, raising their three young daughters, and clinging to the memory of the man she loved.

Romance isn’t just off the table—it feels impossible.

Bailey Rexworth has loved Shar since they were kids.
He watched her marry his best friend.
He carried the coffin.
And for three years, he’s stayed in her orbit—loyal, patient, quietly burning.

Now the bushfires are closing in on the small town Meringa, and Bailey’s ready to risk everything. Not just his life as a firefighter, but his heart.

Can an angry young daughter stand in the way of her mother falling in love?
Can friends become lovers without losing everything they’ve already built?
Or will Bailey and Shar be destined to stop at a spark?

SPARK is a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance set in a fire-prone Australian town.
