For a firefighter, falling in love requires a whole new level of courage in this contemporary M/M romance series from A.R. Barley.

Former marine and seasoned firefighter Troy Barnes has always kept his sex life on the down low, until the night he’s injured in a suspicious warehouse fire--then dumped by his long-term boyfriend. When a flirty young paramedic offers him a place to crash, Troy’s not so willing to give in. He’s never needed help before. But if anyone can break through his tough-guy act, it’s Alex Tate.

Alex has crushed on Troy since the minute he saw him. Now here Troy is, stripped of his turnout gear and recuperating in Alex’s bed. The tattooed hero may be a fantasy-come-true, but Alex wants more than rebound sex—and he’s not sure Troy’s ex is gone or forgotten.

As each night brings them closer together, Troy realizes there’s more to Alex than he’d ever imagined. And with an arsonist loose in Manhattan, neither he nor Alex realizes just how combustible things are going to get.

The first book in A.R. Barley’s exhilarating Smoke and Bullets series, featuring smoking hot New York City firefighters
