Burning down the house

There’s a reason they call it “falling” in love.

A new mycological research development calls mushroom scientist Dr. Aria Johnson home to Foxboro, Ohio. Within minutes of her arrival, Aria falls on and concusses Brodie Campbell, her high school flame and now sworn enemy.

Brodie thinks he’s changed since high school, now serving as Foxboro’s fire captain and chief thirst trap maker—for charity, of course. Aria finds this hard to believe. She avoids Brodie like a poisonous mushroom and suppresses those hurtful memories.

Brodie does the opposite, doing anything to put himself in Aria’s path and prove who he is today.

As Aria settles back into town, she learns that Brodie’s not the boy she left behind, but instead, a pillar of the community who would do anything for anybody.

And when Foxboro’s charity date auction shines a spotlight on them both, all hands start burning to raise a paddle.

Can Brodie prove he’s the choice to pick, or will Aria douse the flames on their love forever?
