description: Wicked Burn
  McKenna Jeffries and Aliyah Burke
  Firefighter Yasmine Van Cort is used to saving people and knows sometimes, not everyone can be rescued. Yet something about her last fire rescue keeps bothering her. She cannot forget the anguish of the man who lost his sister and brother-in-law, the man who is now the guardian of the sole survivor of the horrible fire—an innocent baby. Yasmine knows getting involved with those you save can be a bad idea, but she cannot resist checking on him. What she finds is an unexpected complication which will change her forever.
  Sedeo Parker lost the last of his family and now has to care for his infant niece. Distraught at the loss and the responsibility, he is overwhelmed when the woman who saved his niece comes by. His mixed emotions of gratitude and fury that she did not save everyone leave him reeling. The unexpected flash of desire for her only complicates things.
  Yasmine knows with her career, a real relationship is difficult at best. Add in a victim of fire, and it makes it doubly so. Sedeo, after losing everything to fire, does not know if he can let himself become involved with a woman who fights the very thing he is afraid of. Together, they will have to decide if it’s worth it to take a chance on a wicked burn.
  Dangerous Beauty

  Blurb: Stephanie Irene Nolan, Sin, doesn’t think she’s very pretty. As an ex-Marine, two tours in Iraq have left her scarred and a little battered. An adrenaline junkie hiding out in small town Colorado, she prides herself in being just as strong, just as fast, and a hell of a lot brighter than any man. That is until she meets her match in the annual Bucket Brigade run.
  Brandon Long, ex-pudge and computer nerd, has been in love with Sin longer than she could ever guess. A man with a purpose, he sets out to win the race, then win her heart.
  What neither of them knows is that while they’re dancing the delicate dance of courtship and love, someone other than Cupid has them in his crosshairs. Danger, humor, and some really hot sex set the sheets and the boarding house on fire in this tale of love lost, love found, and death defied.
