Crème Brûlée and Other Emergencies

Sometimes the sweetest love stories begin with a little fire.Maddie's life was running on autopilot-until one night, a hospital consult, a torched dessert, and a ridiculously handsome pediatric doctor named Kennedy flipped everything upside down. What was supposed to be a promising first date ends in a flurry of pager alerts and an untouched crème brûlée. But what should've been a disappointment becomes a spark-a literal and metaphorical ignition-that neither of them can stop thinking about.Between NICU emergencies, haunted teapots, rogue pigeons, and a growing collection of crème brûlées (some topped with edible fire extinguishers), Maddie and Kennedy stumble into something real, messy, and completely unexpected. Their chemistry crackles like caramelized sugar, and their witty banter hides a tenderness neither of them saw coming.Set against the backdrop of quirky speakeasies, text exchanges filled with puns and bad museum behavior, and late-night dessert deliveries, Crème Brûlée and Other Emergencies is a slow-burn romantic comedy about missed moments, second chances, and finding joy in the chaos.Because sometimes love doesn't knock-it crashes in wearing scrubs and carrying dessert.
