title: Fire and Ice
author: Drennen, Jerri
description: He's a hunky fire investigator, she creates ice sculptures-when these two get together things can't help but sizzle. Fire investigation is Knox Manning's passion, that is until he meets the suspect in his latest arson case. The moment he locks eyes with Melanie Sharp's powder blue gaze his knees buckle-a foreign reaction to the six-foot-two fireman. Thing is, the woman is trouble with a capital "T." Messing with her could cost him his job and his sanity. That's what his mind says anyway, too bad his body isn't listening. Melanie's a talent, an up-and-comer in the cultured art world and a woman with a less than stellar past. When one of her promotional flier's is found at the scene of a burned out house, she suddenly finds herself the focus of an arson investigation. One led by a dark-haired man who scares her as much as he thrills her. The house blaze had been set, but not by Melanie. She's determined to prove that to Knox, who has suddenly become the catalyst of her secret sexual fantasies-igniting an inferno so intense she's afraid of sustaining third-degree burns.
