About
Best-selling author, Isobel Reed brings readers back to Woodvalley Pines where small town firefighters set hearts ablaze. Fans of Elsie Silver’s Powerless and Lucy Score’s Protecting What’s Mine will swoon for Isobel Reed’s firefighter heroes and the feisty women who go toe-to-toe with them. Hitched is a second chance romance where two high school sweethearts are thrown back into each other’s lives after a decade apart.
Old flames burn the hottest, but can they survive the heat?
It was safe to say Bethany Mayer was questioning her life choices as she stuffed four layers of her tulle wedding dress into her ex-boyfriend’s pickup truck. She thought she had it all figured out. Move home to Woodvalley Pines. Marry her long-term boyfriend. Open her own medical practice. But one day, one decision, changed her life forever. Now, instead of being the talk of the town for her superior skills as a doctor, she’s the subject of the small town’s unhinged rumor mill.
Being his ex’s getaway driver as she ditches her own wedding wasn’t exactly how firefighter, Benny, thought his day was going to go. He’d actually been counting on finally getting some closure after a decade apart. This had to be the complete opposite of that, right? Now his first and only love was back in town and suddenly single. Never mind the deranged rumors flying around town about her runaway bride stunt, he was more scared of the truth. And the kind of trouble he was about to get into now he knows she’s sticking around.
Tropes: Runaway bride, Second chance, Firefighter/Doctor, High school sweethearts 10 years later.
Heat level: Extra steamy (Contains explicit scenes that eventually fade to black)

Praise for this book
And Benny… listen. A man who still looks at his ex like she’s both the heartbreak of his life and the woman he’d set the world on fire for? Yeah, I was gone. Absolutely gone. He’s rough around the edges, soft where it counts, and carrying enough leftover hurt to make their reunion deliciously messy.
This book did not come to play — it came to consume my entire evening. I genuinely could not put it down. Benny might officially be my favorite MMC so far. The man is steady, protective, and still very clearly wrecked. He looks at B like she’s both the past that broke him and the future he’d burn the world down for — and honestly? I folded immediately.
Hitched by Isobel Reed is a fun, fast-paced romance that balances humor, heat, and heart perfectly. The chemistry is instant, the banter is sharp, and the emotional moments sneak up on you in the best way. It’s one of those books you pick up “for a chapter” and suddenly it’s 2 a.m.
