Lost in the woods in the middle of a storm, Vanessa seeks refuge in a fire lookout’s tower, but finds much more than shelter. Simon is gruff, burly, and distractingly handsome—if the Smokey Bear aesthetic is your thing (and it totally is). Only You (Can Prevent Forest Fires) was originally published as part of the Only One Bed Volume Two anthology by Violet Gaze Press. This short story is revised and includes a bonus epilogue. Simon and Vanessa also make an appearance in Amped, book 3 of Vixens Rock, a plus sized rockstar romance series by Marie Lipscomb. Marie Lipscomb is a writer with a penchant for unlikely heroes, fantastical creatures, and finding romance in the midst of chaos. She has a particular fondness for big, squishy, cinnamon-roll heroes, especially if they’re beardy.
