Love wears many faces tender, fierce, and sometimes touched by something otherworldly. In these five stories, women discover connection in places their hearts were never meant to wander.

A doctor hides her longing behind her white coat until one patient’s quiet strength breaks through. Under a blood moon, a protector torn between duty and desire feels the wolf inside her stir. Across galaxies, two souls meet beneath strange skies, drawn together by something as constant as the stars. In the silver shimmer of a river, a mermaid risks everything for the woman who sees her not as legend, but as real. And deep in the wild, three lives intertwine raw, loyal, untamed where love challenges fear and defies the laws of the pack.

Each tale blends the human with the extraordinary, the earthly with the eternal. Together, they remind us that love no matter its shape burns brighter than anything that dares to contain it.

When hearts collide across worlds, what would you surrender for the one who makes you feel alive?

Each collection in Her Kind of Fire continues this journey five stories, one unforgettable blaze.

Love doesn’t come in one form or follow one rule. Her Kind of Fire follows women who find their spark in unexpected places: through ambition, longing, and the raw pull of connection.

Each story stands alone yet belongs to the same heartbeat a world where desire and power meet, where loving boldly means breaking the quiet rules written by others. These women chase what feels real, even when the world tells them not to.

It’s not just about romance. It’s about choosing the flame that makes you alive.

How far would you go to follow your own fire?
