Singe

Their slow burn could build to a five-alarm...or go up in smoke.

Addie Manzella does her best to keep her complicated personal life separate from work. But after the funeral of a colleague who died in an arson fire, things come to a head. She goes tequila shot for tequila shot with fellow firefighter Eli Grant-a contest that ends in the bedroom. Sure, the sex is great-okay, it's the best of her life-but Eli clearly isn't a long-term kind of guy. Though his post-divorce antics read more goofball than player, he's a complication she doesn't need. Bold, brassy Addie is a serious threat to Eli's determination to hide a dark history. Not even his ex-wife knows the whole story behind the burn scars on his body. Yet he can't resist the challenge of pursuing Addie-especially since she clearly likes being chased. The fire that took their friend, though, isn't the last. As more buildings-and more lives-go up in flames, Eli's past comes roiling to the present. Threatening to send their fledgling romance up in smoke.

Warning: This book contains two wicked-hot firefighters, a dark secret, sex in semi-public places, and a smidge of Catholic guilt.
