Summer's Blaze: Ember Creek Seasons Book 3 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798261766568)

She came home to heal.
He stayed behind to protect what mattered most.
Neither expected love to blaze back to life.

When Hannah Cooper returns to Ember Creek after losing her job-and her sense of direction-she plans to keep her head down and reopen her late aunt's flower shop for the summer. What she doesn't plan on is running straight into Jake Lawson, her childhood best friend... and the boy who broke her heart when she left town years ago.

Now a dedicated firefighter, Jake has built his life around service, faith, and responsibility-especially caring for his ailing father. He never left Ember Creek, and he never quite let go of Hannah either. But time, misunderstandings, and old wounds have left plenty of distance between them.

As the town prepares for its beloved Summer Festival, Hannah and Jake are thrown together again-through late-night preparations, unexpected storms, and quiet moments that stir feelings neither of them meant to revisit. With faith gently guiding their steps, they must decide whether the past is something to regret... or redeem.

Can two childhood friends find the courage to forgive, trust, and believe in second chances-both in love and in God's timing?

Summer's Blaze is a heartwarming, clean Christian romance about:

• Second chances and forgiveness

• Small-town community and faith

• A firefighter hero with a tender heart

• Childhood friends rekindling lost love

Perfect for readers who love clean & wholesome romance, faith-based love stories, and small-town settings filled with warmth, hope, and happily-ever-afters.

Summer's Blaze is Book 3 in the Ember Creek Seasons series but can be enjoyed as a standalone.
