Ashe's writing sparkles with humor and twists you won't see coming but that have you unable to turn the pages fast enough. —Theresa Rogers Samantha Rowe's never scared of anything, even when she should be. Whether it's jumping out of an airplane in the Andes or, like now, opening a martial arts classroom in tiny Darling Bay, helping women protect themselves from attack, she's fearless in everything except love. The only thing she really needs is an attacker to help her train the students. Hank Coffee is way more used to putting on a fire helmet than a padded one, but when Samantha needs help with her new business, he's willing to be kicked and hit in the name of helping someone stay safe. Safety's his thing, after all, and he's good at protocol—dotting his i's and crossing all the t's. When it comes to Samantha, though, Hank is losing his heart and not sure how to get it back. How will Samantha deal with this full-frontal assault on her heart. Will Hank find a way to make Sam follow the rules of the game? The Firefighters of Darling Bay series Book 1: Fire at Twilight Book 2: Fire at Dawn Book 3: Everyday Hero (A Darling Bay Short Story) Book 4: Fire at Dusk

Howdy! I've had a lot of jobs in the past, but writing is the best job of all. I'm also a 911 dispatcher for a tiny fire department in a small, rural town. Surprisingly, compared to waitressing or bartending (I can balance a tray while whipping up a batch of mojitos), dispatching is a walk in the park with fewer surly customers. You have to be a schizophrenic octopus to love doing 911 — I am definitely that. I've lived for enough years in the big city to appreciate the small town life, especially when that life is the really good one, out here on the Northern California Coast. I'm happily married and addicted to all things romantic, including surprise getaways to San Francisco for clam chowder or overnight trips to Napa for wine, but I've also found that being romantic at home can be just as exciting (or more so!). ​There are lots of places you can find me out in this wide world besides Goodreads, and I'd love to chat with you at all of them. Facebook makes me a little nervous because I'm shy. I like Twitter best, by the way. And you.
