Detective Derrick Monroe flies home to Hallow Falls, Colorado, to oversee his mother’s arrangements and estate. Fourteen years before, he lost his firefighter father to the job. Upon his return to his hometown, Derrick is plagued with memories. Stopping by the fire department, he sees the beauty from his past. Charlene ‘Charley’ Fairview has always wanted to be a firefighter since the day she was saved by one, but she never thought it would be so hard gaining acceptance from her male counterparts. Five years, she has felt alone, then Derrick walks back into her life. Fires are popping up more and more, could Hallow Falls have an arsonist in its small town? Can Derrick convince Charley he’s all in or will he be too late? When the flames die down, who will be left standing?

I'm new to the author world and write steamy romance novellas. I have always loved the idea of happy endings, but with real life drama. I'm a native of North Carolina and have always loved the beauty of the Appalachian Mountains. Hiking is one of my favorite hobbies as it helps to clear my mind and allow my imagination to roam freely. I'm an avid reader of all genres. I love traveling, especially to small communities, as the people are always so nice and welcoming, with hidden gems in their sweet little towns.
