Overview

She’s going to burn me down…

LENA

I came to Station 9 for one reason.

To prove I belong.

Not to want my Fire Chief.
Not to feel my body betray me every time she looks at me.
Not to crave the way she says my name like she already owns it.

Val Mercer is control.
Power.
Danger wrapped in a uniform.

She watches me like I’m something she’s already decided to take.

And the worst part?

I want her to.

Even if she destroys me.

VAL

I don’t build things to be fair.

I build them to be mine.

Station 9.
My city.
My rules.

And the moment Lena Cruz walked in—defiant, fearless, looking at me like she wasn’t afraid—

I knew.

She was mine.

She can fight it.
Pretend she doesn’t feel it.
Try to walk away.

She won’t.

Because when I want something—

I take it.

And I never let it go.

Two women.
One fire that was never meant to be contained.

But in Redwater City…
some fires aren’t accidents.

And once you step into the flames—

there’s no getting out.
