Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Some fires are meant to be managed.When Bianca Moretti arrives in Whisper Creek, Maine, she does so with precision. She understands systems, risk, and restraint-and she believes growth should never come at the cost of stability. Especially her own.The Moose Café is not part of the plan.Neither is Thea Walsh, whose warmth, ease, and un-contained presence unsettle Bianca in ways she doesn't immediately name. As the town navigates careful development along its rugged coastline, Bianca finds herself caught between control and connection, discipline and desire.Whisper Creek doesn't demand urgency. It applies pressure slowly-through community, through proximity, through the quiet truth that what lasts must be tended with care.Controlled Burn is a contemporary sapphic romance about attraction with boundaries, love that respects limits, and passion that doesn't have to destroy in order to transform.Set in a coastal Maine town where growth is measured in people, not profit, this novel explores what happens when two women choose sustainability-together.Perfect for readers who love: - Slow-burn, emotionally grounded romance- Small-town coastal settings- Mature, competent protagonists- Desire without chaos- Stories where love is built, not rushed
