At First Spark

Lark Carrington came to Coral Bell Cove for a fresh start. A fading inn, a quiet life, and a chance to rebuild something steady after everything she's lost. She didn't expect her first real connection to come in the middle of chaos.

Holt Wright is used to being underestimated-long before he ever put on a uniform. The easygoing one. The goofball. The brother no one expected much from. Until he became a firefighter. Now, when the alarm sounds, he's the one people trust when it matters most.

The one who shows up.

The one who stays.

Even for her.

What begins as a single moment-smoke, heat, and the steady presence of the man who pulled her back from the edge-turns into something neither of them can ignore. Long days restoring the Carrington Inn. Late nights that feel a little too honest. A connection that builds slowly... and burns deeper than either of them expected.

Because Lark doesn't trust easily. And Holt is still learning what it means to be the man people finally believe in.

And when the past Lark tried to outrun starts to catch up with her... they'll have to decide if this is just a spark-or something worth risking everything for.

At First Spark is a tender, slow-burn small-town romance about healing, showing up, and discovering that sometimes the person who saves you... is the one you choose to stay for.
