I’d dedicated my career to extinguishing fires, but reigniting the fire inside Juliette would be my most important job. 

Juliette has created a good life for herself. Despite her struggles with dyspraxia and all the quirks, awkwardness, and sometimes unintelligible speech it brings, she’s happy. Well, happy enough. Then Dylan, the sweet, sexy fireman, sweeps into her life, making her believe she could have more than she’s ever thought possible.

Dylan finally has everything he’s ever dreamed of. Juliette is perfect for him exactly as she is. He’d do anything to be her protector, her rock. But his world is about to crumble when danger comes from the one direction he never expected—himself. 

Faced with a vengeful ex and a perilous rescue, Juliette summons every ounce of strength to save herself and Dylan before it’s too late. But what if her best isn’t enough? With the fantasy shattered, Juliette must choose between retreating to the safety of her previous life, or risking it all to embrace the brilliance within her reach.

Embracing Jenna

Book 2 in the TEXAS HEROES: STATION 9 series

Love is within reach. Danger is even closer.
 

Jenna knows fear. She grew up with more than her share of it, but she’s done letting it control her life. Now a fully functioning, only slightly paranoid adult, she’s determined to claim her happiness. With Liam, she’s finally brave enough to reach for it. 

But just as Jenna starts to believe she can build a life with Liam, a string of ominous encounters casts a shadow over their happily ever after. Each unsettling moment deepens her unease—and steels her resolve. It’s just old fears resurfacing, she tells herself. Fear won’t steal her future. She’s stronger now. 

Jenna’s trust and happiness mean everything to Liam—just as much as keeping her safe. A firefighter with a soldier’s instincts, he’s trained to confront danger head-on. But desperate to protect her hard-won peace, he underestimates a serious threat, a mistake they’ll both carry forever. 

As an old enemy resurfaces and new dangers close in, Liam is forced into a brutal balancing act: protect her too fiercely and risk breaking the woman he loves, or hesitate again and risk losing her for good. 

With everything on the line, Jenna discovers that real strength doesn’t come from denying fear—it comes from trusting herself to face it…before it’s too late. 

** Trigger Warning: This story contains an explicit depiction of sexual assault and recollections of past sexual abuse. Even with these dark themes, at its heart, it is a story of love, resilience, and the courage to claim happiness.
