Vancity Fire
Publication Date: September 7, 2026
She’s the boss of the Vancity Tide lacrosse team. He’s the team captain—and the firefighter who’s never failed anyone. There are a hundred reasons why their steamy encounter has to stay a secret. But number one? Her dad owns the team…
Seren is on the brink of career disaster. The general manager job she’s worked her entire life for is about to slip away. The season is unraveling and she’s been given an ultimatum—make it to the playoffs or lose her dream job forever. But keeping her head in the game would be so much easier if she wasn’t falling for her star player. And he hadn’t told her he was falling too…
Brad Holt is the team captain. Nicknamed ‘Fixer’, he holds everything together, whether it’s on the lacrosse floor, at the fire hall or at home with his family. Being steady was his whole identity—until the night things crossed the line with Seren. Now he’s in a tailspin, failing in every arena that matters. All because she’s the one problem he can’t fix. And the one person who might actually break him for good.
As the final games of the season loom over Seren and Brad, and a clip of a heated kiss goes viral, their carefully crafted defence crumbles around them. With seconds left on the clock, a win could change everything. But if they lose, they lose it all…
A completely swoon-worthy and steamy forbidden love sports romance that fans of Hannah Grace, Stephanie Archer and Amy Daws will totally fall for.

He’s the captain of a professional lacrosse team, known as “the Fixer,” who holds everyone together. She’s the red-haired general manager desperately trying to prove herself to her father.
Together, their chemistry captures readers in Sophie L. Henderson’s Could You Be Mine? As the third installment in the Vancity Fire series, it can easily be read as a standalone. However, you won’t want to miss the character development that spans the series.
Brad Holt, the middle of the three Holt brothers, finally gets his own story. His character has always been the sensible one, bringing peace after the chaos of his brothers. However, he never expected to fall for Seren.
Although she is the owner’s daughter, Seren’s job as GM relies on the team’s performance. The last thing she needs is the hunky team captain distracting her. Even with a chance at the playoffs, her father is already lining up a replacement.
Add in a roller coaster ride of emotions as Brad and Seren dance around taking their friendship to the next level. For once, the guy known for having all the answers needs help from the supporting characters. It’s an action-packed adventure full of humor and emotions.
Could You Be Mine? offers a slow-burning sports romance filled with heat and humor.
Sophie L. Henderson writes steamy romcoms full of chaos, heart, and characters who swear a little too much to be considered polite. Originally from a tiny village in England, she spent seventeen years wrangling jazz hands as a drama teacher before finally listening to the voice in her head (the one telling her to write, not the one asking for another snack). She now lives in Vancouver with her husband, where she’s embraced views of snowcapped mountains from the beach, over-invests in the hockey, and talks to hummingbirds like they’re her best friends.
