Steamy Dreamy Hearts by Skylar M. Cates

 

Firefighters, Forced Proximity... so many yummy tropes in 

From the Steamy Dreamy Hearts blub:

Captain Smack
I've too many responsibilities for my firehouse, young daughter, and ailing mother. I can't indulge in some inappropriate crush. Off-limits. Even if Caleb won't leave my thoughts.
I didn't think I'd survive losing my husband.
Or notice another man, ever again.
But I notice him.

Caleb
Despite the accident that left me disfigured, I love my job, especially since I transferred to another firehouse. If only my ex would leave me alone and others wouldn't pity my scarred face, my life would improve.
And, oh yeah. I need to stop pining after my boss.
I might be stalking him...Just a little?
Captain Sean Smack is a total fox. But I have to stop.

Together
They face a wildfire and each other.

Steamy Dreamy Hearts features firefighters, forced proximity, age gap, opposites attract, forbidden workplace romance, a single dad, and mental health representation. Although part of the Hearts on Fire series, it can stand solo.


Heather's Review:

Two men who have been circling their feelings for each other get the chance to explore them after a forced proximity, high stress situation... there's a fair amount of outside drama, some sweet family interactions and a raging wildfire to contend with, but this is overall a low angst romance with between two guys who have to get out of their own way...

It was a quick read and although I haven't read the previous stories in this series, I was able to easily follow the story and see where previous relationships impacted the way Caleb and the Captain interacted with each other.
