She’s used to fighting alone.

But now she needs him to survive.

Former socialite Sylvia Harrington can’t wait to flee her hometown of Fairfield—forever. But when her felon father’s cartel sets out to dismantle her life bit by bit, her only hope is to fight back.

Who knew that battle would lead her straight to firefighter Ryan Pierce? After Sylvia brutally shattered his heart long ago, wrong-side-of-the-tracks Ryan never forgave her—but he never forgot her, either.

Rekindling their feelings is more than Ryan ever imagined—and so is walking straight into the crosshairs of a ruthless enemy…

Title:  Legacy of Redemption
Series:  Fairfield First Responders #2
Author:  Kenna Scott
Published:  December 30, 2025
Publisher:  Harlequin Romantic Suspense
My Rating:  4.5 stars

Legacy of Redemption, the second title in the Fairfield First Responder series, is full of danger, regret, and rebuilding a relationship that will require a lot of trust on both sides before this couple can find anything close to a happy ending.  Sylvia is desperate to leave home and all the memories contained there.  With her life falling to pieces around her and a very real danger following her every move, she’s been blocked from fleeing, and fate will have the final ironic say when the one man who can protect and help her now… is the man whose heart she carelessly broke years ago.

Ryan should have learned his lesson years ago.  Nothing good is going to come from running into the one woman who owned his heart back then, and still does to this day, despite their past.  He may not have forgiven Sylvia for the cruel way she broke him years ago, but forgetting she ever existed is also not a possibility.  And how is he supposed to turn his back on her when it’s apparent that she’s in immediate danger and needs his help?  The simple truth is, he cannot turn away, even though his head says leave her to her family and their consequences… his heart says, protect her at all costs.

Sylvia and Ryan’s story is intense on so many levels and filled with danger on every front.  Their romance is well-written, so emotional, full of heartache and, yes, redemption in so many ways.  It’s not easy to trust once you’ve been shattered by the one who matters most, yet watching this couple rebuild not only their love but the trust needed to keep that love alive was an emotional journey.  If this sounds like your kind of Romantic Suspense adventure, then you’ll love Legacy of Redemption by Kenna Scott.
