A woman frozen in place. A man with too much fire. Together? Steam.

They call him Zach the Sack. Cannondale's hottest firefighter is known for his bravery on the job and his skill in bed. He enjoys his reputation as a player, and no woman can resist his charm—except Pippa Hayes.

Pippa always keeps her cool. Whether she's caring for the residents of Saint Mary's Retirement Village, training with her dad for his next wheelchair race, or dealing with her cold-blooded boss, nothing gets her flustered—except Zach Johnson.

The residents of Saint Mary's keep tripping the smoke alarms, putting Zach in Pippa's path again and again, but Pippa is determined to ignore the attraction simmering beneath their heated banter.

Turns out, it's hard to ignore someone when you're trapped in an elevator with him. Even harder to pretend that a scorching hot kiss didn't just happen.

Pippa and Zach agree to a friends-with-benefits arrangement, convinced they can keep their emotions in check. But love, like fire, is unpredictable, and sometimes the flame that burns hottest is the one you least expect.

Playing with Fire is an enemies to lovers, opposites attract romcom with heat, heart, and banter like a house afire. It features a woman who cares for others and a man who gives her exactly what she needs. Set in a Midwest college town, this open-door romance comes with a HEA that will light up your heart.
