He’s twenty-five, fresh out of the academy, and completely off-limits. I’m his lieutenant—and I’m about to break every rule I have. Noah Callahan has something to prove. As the new probie at Station 27 and the Fire Chief’s nephew, everyone assumes his famous last name was his ticket in. He uses a cocky, smart-mouth attitude to mask his desperation to belong, but all that bravado evaporates the second he meets his new lieutenant. Elias "Eli" Rourke is strict, demanding, and hardened by a tragic past that leaves him battling insomnia and grief. He doesn't have time for a bratty rookie. But underneath Noah’s defiance, Eli sees a desperate need for guidance—and a fierce, unspoken submission that calls to every dominant instinct Eli possesses. When the simmering tension between them boils over, a charged locker-room confrontation ignites a secret, explosive affair. Noah has never been with a man before, but surrendering to Eli's strict, demanding touch feels like coming home. But in a firehouse where everyone knows your business, keeping their hands off each other is impossible. With Eli's career, Noah's family reputation, and a haunted past threatening to surface, the heat between them might just burn down everything they've built. Or, it might be the only thing that saves them. Yes, Lieutenant is a high-heat, high-emotion M/M romance featuring a grumpy/sunshine dynamic, an age gap, praise kink, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
