Burning for More

2020

He's reckless. She's hiding behind a lie. They seem destined to be, but could easily crash and burn. Dylan I'm notoriously reckless, and as a New York City fireman, that could prove fatal, but I didn't care. After one such risky rescue where I'd barely escaped a burning building, the last thing I'd expected to do was reunite a beautiful woman with her kitten. But that's what I'd done, and we'd had this instant connection that both intrigued and terrified me. Around Autumn, I feel alive for the first time in over a decade. If I want to learn how to love again though, I'll have to let go of my past, and that is much easier said than done. Autumn I was still licking my wounds from my previous relationship when Dylan Hogan crashed into my life, doing things to my heart (and my body) that I'd never thought possible. He makes me feel like the person I've always wanted to be, though I fear he’ll run if he discovers the truth. I have to let him go before my past destroys us both, but I don't want to extinguish our fire. What he doesn’t know can’t hurt him, right? Dylan might be the savior that Autumn never knew she needed, but first she’ll have to save him from himself. Find out if love conquers all in this sexy romance with a twist that'll take your breath away! If you like alpha males with soft centers who love hard and make love harder, then the Burning for the Bravest series featuring New York City firefighters is for you! This is book one in the steamy Burning for the Bravest series featuring New York City firemen.

He's exactly what she wants, and everything she can't have. Lana She's dated her fair share of New York City firemen, but after being burned one too many times, she swore she'd never date another one. Enter Jesse Hogan—she certainly had a type, and he was it—tempting her to bend her rules for one night. He was just a volunteer fireman, that had to be a loophole, right? Wrong. He wasn't only a volunteer, he was a lieutenant in the FDNY. A fireman twice over. So she told herself to forget about that feeling in her chest (and that mind-blowing orgasm) and move on before he bulldozed her heart. Easy, right? Wrong. Jesse One nighters were his specialty. After meeting Lana though, he was left wanting more. She was an enigma for whom he was committed to changing his ways. Except she refused to date him. But he was determined to wear her down. His "let's be friends" routine seemed to be working. Great, right? Wrong. He discovered something that threatened to not only destroy his chances with the only woman to ever make him want to settle down, but also send his career up in smoke. He could keep that secret from getting out though, right? Wrong. Devour the second installment in the Burning for the Bravest Series and find out if this couple's chemistry will prove to be too combustible for their own good.

When fate forces these enemies to collide, what could possibly go wrong?

One night, he accidentally called a hookup by the wrong name in the middle of...hooking up. He didn’t have the space in his life for that kind of drama, so he decided to move on, even though he’d actually liked her. When he shows up for his best friend, Dylan Hogan’s wedding weekend a few months later, he discovers that life was delivering him a cruel twist of fate. Britt As a sex and dating writer for Contemporary Magazine, Britt has seen and heard it all. Her past had her convinced that true love was a Hollywood construct, so she kept her relationships casual, but she still had standards. When she arrives at her best friend's wedding rehearsal and finds out that she’s walking down the aisle with a former hookup gone bad, she is less than thrilled. In an attempt to hold onto her dignity, Britt invites her celebrity crush, who she’d interviewed for the magazine earlier that day, to be her date—a move that only adds fuel to the fire.

Sometimes, first love is better the second time around. Kyle I was four when I met Allie Dupree. Ten when I stopped thinking she had cooties. Fourteen when I realized I was in love with her. And eighteen when I finally told her. Then I never saw her again. I also never forgot her. And my heart never let her go. Sixteen years after she’d disappeared without a word, she's back and there's no way in hell I'm letting her get away again. Especially because there are still burning embers of what we had. And, at the very least, I think I deserve some answers. Allie Returning to New York had never been a part of my plan. But having to watch my ex-husband move on with his pregnant fiancée before the ink had even dried on our divorce papers had made staying in Michigan impossible. The odds of running into Kyle Hogan in Manhattan were one in three-million. But sure enough, my first month back, I came face-to-face with the one person I’d never wanted to see again. What had happened sixteen years ago had ruined my life, and Kyle can never find out that secret. I won't let it destroy him, too. Will their old flame be enough or will it come back to burn them?
