Nicole Wells left Seattle two years ago for graduate school to study fire dynamics...and to get away from her best friend and unrequited love, Skylar Clark. Now she's back home with a new job, ready to hit reset on her life and reconnect with her friends.
And maybe finally get together with Skylar.
Nic's plans go up in flames when Skylar announces she's moving to Fiji for a new business venture, in what will likely be another catastrophe for the ambitious but seldom successful BFF. That, and there's a newcomer to Nic's group of friends: Kira McKinney, a firefighter Nicole can't keep her eyes off.
Worried about their friend making a huge mistake, Nicole and Kira work together to stop Skylar from leaving. When talking to her doesn't work, there's only one option left, shenanigans. But as all their efforts go up in smoke, one thing becomes wildly clear.
Sparks are starting to fly between Nic and Kira...
In this sapphic rom-com, a fire starter (a chemist who studies fire) and a firefighter team up to save their best friend from making an epic mistake, sparks fly (literally) and shenanigans ensue; a celebration of queer joy for fans of Casey McQuiston and Ashley Herring Blake.
