Bookouture acquire romance novels from author Sophie L. Henderson

We are pleased to announce the acquisition of three contemporary romance novels from Sophie L. Henderson. Commissioning Editor Brittany Golob has acquired World All Language rights including audio, film and TV.

The books – all publishing in 2026 – are set in the steamy world of firefighting and feature hotshot firefighters, meddling families and lovable characters. The first in the series sees sparks fly between hotshot young firefighter Savannah and local reporter Brodie, who just happens to be her ex…

Sophie says,

‘I’m thrilled that Bookouture will be publishing my first three steamy firefighter romcoms, all set in Vancouver’s beautiful West End. Expect slow burns, sharp banter, and love that sets the page on fire (sometimes literally, they’re firefighters, after all). I’m beyond grateful to my brilliant editor Brittany Golob and the whole Bookouture team for believing in these chaos-filled, big-hearted characters. I can’t wait for readers to dive in!’

Brittany says,

‘From almost the first page, I knew that Sophie’s book was delivering something special. She’s taken the classic trope of the more athletic man and slightly nerdy girl and flipped them so cleverly. The first book in her upcoming series is packed with high-stakes relationship drama, meddling families, adorable – yet totally attractive – firefighter brothers and an utterly gorgeous setting. I can’t wait to publish this book, and the next two in the series. Sophie’s characters are full of life, attitude and so much spice. I’m so excited to be able to work with Sophie and to bring these books to readers!’
