Firefighter Romance · Explicit / high heat · 28 chapters + epilogue · 85K novel · Dual 1st person

Complete planning package, 106 pages: the premise, a full codex, every chapter outlined, an AI prompt for every chapter, and the whole launch kit — listing, blurb, keywords, posts, newsletter, reader magnet — already written. One buyer only. When it’s claimed, it’s gone.

She's a bisexual fire chief who left her conservative Georgia hometown at twenty-two because it couldn't hold all of her — her ambition, her queerness, her refusal to be the girl she was supposed to become. She spent twelve years building herself into someone unshakeable in Atlanta. Then the city sent her back.

Now she's standing in the firehouse she grew up in, wearing the title that was supposed to belong to the woman staring her down from the other side of the engine bay — the openly queer, infuriatingly competent acting chief who had the promotion in her hands until Reese walked through the door.

Before they can settle the question of who runs this station, there's a wildfire season that's the worst in a decade, a crew loyal to Dani who won't take orders from a stranger, a city council that hired Reese as a PR move and would drop her the moment she became inconvenient, and a small town that remembers exactly who she used to be and has opinions about who she's become.

Reese has spent twelve years being out and carefully compartmentalized — bisexual in theory, guarded in practice. Dani has spent three years being the one who stayed, the one who earned it, the one who doesn't get to have it. One wildfire season is about to burn down every wall they've built between duty and desire.

Bisexual firefighter romance with real heat and real stakes. The kind of book that makes readers sweat through every fire call and every almost-kiss equally.

WHY THIS WILL SELL

→ Bisexual Romance is the best-performing LGBTQ+ sub-subcategory on the Market-Matched™ strategy map (6.9 ratio, Hot Mainstream) with dramatically less saturation than Gay Romance — 10,746 titles vs. 94,700

→ Romance–Firefighters delivers a passionate, high-reread-rate niche (8.0 ratio, Hot Niche) still dominated by heterosexual romance — a queer firefighter story stands out immediately

→ Romance–Workplace (8.6 ratio, Hot Mainstream) is one of the most consistently high-performing categories, and rivals-to-lovers workplace tension is the most searched trope cluster on TikTok and Goodreads

→ Triple-stacking three green-zone categories (6.9 + 8.0 + 8.6) is a rare strategic alignment — each cross-list reinforces discoverability in a different hungry audience

→ This isn't a coming-out story — it's a coming-home story, which appeals to both bi readers hungry for representation and mainstream romance readers who want the rivals-to-lovers payoff

→ Wildfire season provides built-in escalation, physical danger, and forced trust that drives both plot and romance simultaneously
