A standalone small town suspense romance from New York Times bestselling author Anne Marsh about love, survival, and finding that one special place and person where you belong. Smoke jumper Jack Donovan has lived for the thrill of flying over the burning California hills, the intensity of diving into the inferno, the glory of taming the forces of nature. He’s steadfast. Protective. One-hundred-percent loyal. Especially when it comes to Lily Cortez, the one woman he can never have. He left their small California mountain town of Strong when he couldn’t resist her or their incendiary physical connection any longer. But when a serial arsonist strikes in Strong, Jack will make it his mission to find out who is threatening the people he loves. Even if it means getting close to Lily. Even if it means falling for her in every way. Even if it means uncovering the secrets she’s keeping. The free-spirited lavender farmer doesn’t need a firefighting white knight. Especially since the mountain-man-sized solution that knocks on the front door of her farmhouse is the man who broke her teenage heart. Allowing a smoke jumper to crash land in the life she’s fought so hard to start over, will only lead to more hurt. Especially since a stalker from her past will put them both in danger, costing them so much more than a second chance at love. Author’s Note: Opposites attract. Second chance at love. Girl in danger. Lots of firefighting puns. Small-town hijinks. A pining, chivalrous, overprotective hero who has no filter when it comes to how he’d like to be with our lavender-farming heroine. A free-spirited, wild-child, I-can-do-it-myself heroine who is certain that a lavender farm is the best dream a girl could have—until a white-knighting smoke jumper knocks on her front door. Steam level: Hotter than a geothermal geyser in Iceland. Suspense level: Also incendiary.

A small-town girl with a scandalous past comes home to face her high school reunion—and a smoking hot local fire chief—in this contemporary romance. Though it’s been years since the infamous Macy O’James stepped foot in Sugarville, Washington, everyone remembers the story of what she supposedly did. The tiny town is still buzzing about her crime—and lack of punishment. Now that Macy is back to lend her family a hand, she vows to hold her head high—especially at her high school reunion. But forget about the hottest man in Sugarville escorting her. Though she and fire chief Gabriel Donovan generate enough sparks to burn down the town, he’s a law-abiding, line-toeing straight arrow. So not her type. But maybe—just maybe—he can change her mind about that.
