Becoming my BFF’s Step Mommy.

They say to never mix fire and secrets. She lit the match anyway.

Eighteen-year-old Cathy “Calico” Cole shouldn’t fantasize about Alec Dawson—her best friend’s rugged firefighter father. He’s twice her age, built like a Greek god, and carries the quiet intensity of a man who knows how to handle heat.

Those storm-green eyes see straight through her glasses, her insecurities… to a hunger she barely understands. Every lingering glance, every accidental brush of his calloused hand against her skin is gasoline on an already smoldering flame. The debt she owes her best friend screams stop… but her body screams take him.

Alec thought his broken marriage left him cold inside. Then Calico walked into his life—a wildfire of youth and raw desire. She’s everything forbidden: his daughter’s closest confidante, achingly young, and blazing with an untamed sensuality that disarms his control. Resisting her is impossible. Touching her is treason. The guilt tears at him, a relentless fire alarm in his mind… but the scent of her hair, the feel of her soft curves yielding, the sounds she makes when he pushes her boundaries—they drown it all out. He craves to possess her, fully and completely, damn the consequences.

Enter Kiley, his ex-wife. Still stunning, still sharp, she smells blood in the water—his blood. She trades the cold luxury of her plastic surgeon’s mansion for the familiar heat of Alec’s bed, determined to reignite their old passion and stake her claim. Her carefully sculpted body, her calculated seductions, her whispered promises from the past clash violently with the raw, electric pull of Calico’s untamed innocence.

Now, Alec is caught in the crossfire. Two women. One struggle: an ex-wife demanding her place back, and a forbidden siren threatening to burn his world down. Who will he surrender to when loyalty collides with lust? In this scorching tale of betrayal and obsession, boundaries won’t just bend—they’ll shatter.

Prepare for a love triangle so hot, so achingly taboo, it demands to be consumed… without regrets. Dare to get burned?
