I came to Fire Lake to outrun my past. 

A broken-down car, an empty wallet and one loyal dog — that’s all I had when I stumbled into this small town I didn’t plan to stay in. 

Then I met Gus Lawson. 

Ex–Navy SEAL. Carpenter. Six-foot-five of trouble wrapped in muscle and quiet control. He’s the kind of man who can fix anything — except whatever’s broken inside him. 

I tell myself I don’t care. But every time his gaze finds mine, my resolve cracks a little more. 

His touch scorches. His kiss tastes like danger. And when he says my name, I forget every reason I ever had to run. 

He’s not the kind of man you fall for — he’s the kind you burn for. 

And I’m already going up in flames.

This small-town romance, packed with sizzling heat and mystery is perfect for fans of Elsie Silver, Catherine Cowles, Paisley Hope, Samantha Christy, Lyla Sage and Elle Nicoll.
