NEW SERIES in Peachwood Grove 🍑

Embers of Fate (Book 1)


Event planner Ember Harper came to Peachwood Grove for a reset. What she got was a rainstorm, a deer in the road, a crash she absolutely did not plan for, and a rescue by Captain Ryan McCallister—the kind of firefighter who could ruin her standards forever.

Embers of Fate kicks off the brand-new Blazing Hearts Short Romance Series, filled with fiery chemistry, Southern charm, healing hearts, and happily ever afters you can devour in one cozy afternoon.

Ashes and Sparks (Book 2)

Fire investigator Ashley Torres came to Savannah for a conference. What she got was one reckless, no-names night with a stranger in a hotel bar, six weeks of "that never happened," and a permanent post standing shift-to-shift with that same stranger—Blake McCallister, the kind of firefighter who makes "strictly professional" feel like the biggest lie she's ever told herself.

Ashes and Sparks turns up the heat in the Blazing Hearts Short Romance Series, delivering forced proximity, Southern charm, hard-won trust, and a slow burn hot enough to leave scorch marks—the kind of story you'll want to read with the lights low.

Also by C.K. Darling

The Sweetheart Scones & Stories Series, that started it all in the small town of Peachwood Grove, GA.
