Some fires destroy everything—unless a fierce heart dares to challenge them.
Joy stood frozen before the burning house, her heart pounding so violently she could barely draw breath. Flames clawed at the windows, smoke billowing into the sky as panic wrapped around her chest. Then she ran closer, shouting her sister’s name, praying for an answer she feared might never come. She knew it without doubt: her sister and her nieces were still inside.
Where was her sister’s husband? How had the fire started? And why did something about the scene feel terribly wrong?
One glance was enough. The structure wouldn’t hold much longer. The roof groaned overhead. The walls shuddered, threatening to collapse at any moment. Time was slipping through her fingers.
Joy had a choice to make, turn away and survive… or run into the flames and risk everything for the ones she loved.

BIOGRAPHY Rebecca Lange is a romance-suspense author and a devoted believer in old-fashioned love—the kind with stolen kisses, heartfelt promises, and heroes who protect without apology. She misses the days when passion was tender, not tainted, and when a man’s strength was something to be admired, not feared. In her stories, the villains are the toxic ones—not the alpha males who love fiercely and stand their ground.
Refusing to surrender to modern cynicism, Rebecca writes with heart, hope, and a touch of nostalgia—crafting timeless romances where love heals, hearts awaken, and happily-ever-after still means everything.
While she has explored various genres throughout her writing journey, her greatest passion lies in historical fiction—particularly stories set in the 1800s American West and the Regency era.
Originally from Germany, Rebecca was born and raised there before moving abroad in 2002 to serve a mission for her church in Scotland. A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she now lives in Utah with her husband, two sons (ages 18 and 20), and two lively Yorkie puppies.
Rebecca has been crafting stories since her teenage years, always drawn to tales of love, resilience, and timeless emotion. In the summer of 2012, she began pursuing her dream of writing more seriously, publishing her first work—a small cookbook—in February 2013. Since then, she has released a trilogy and continued to grow her author career.
Her writing motto is: Never Smut, Always Sizzling Kisses, Consistently Closed Door. She delights in weaving passion and tenderness into her stories, offering what she calls “sweet and diet spice” romance. Diet spice—what is that, you ask? It’s all about the thrill of longing gazes, passionate kisses, and close embraces that build anticipation without ever crossing into explicit territory. For Rebecca, the most powerful love stories are those that keep things tasteful and teasing, proving that romance can be both heart-stirring and wholesome.
