Part of Series
I’m done with corporate rules and arrogance, which is why I’m hiding away in a small mountain town after a disastrous hot mic incident that ruined my career. The simple life is supposed to give me a chance to lick my wounds. But as they say…the simple life ain’t so simple. One of the first coworkers I encounter is a grumbly volunteer firefighter everyone tells me to stay away from. This wouldn’t be a problem if my heart didn’t get swoony at the sight of him. It also wouldn’t be a problem if I planned on staying in town long enough to break through the walls he’d built around his heart. He’s been burned, and I can’t shake the feeling that instead of everyone keeping their distance, he needs compassion, which is the exact wrong thing to come from someone passing through. But when he embarrasses himself to protect me, revealing a glimmer of hope, I have to decide if I’m going to encourage him to let more light into his darkened heart, or if I should keep my distance so we both don’t end up hurt.
Author
Barbra Campbell writes dirty-sweet romance because she gets a kick out of helping couples overcome problems as they fall in love, even if it’s her fault they have problems in the first place. After pursuing degrees in Genetics for nearly a decade, she realized the ‘chemistry’ of romance was a lot more fun to write about than the biochemistry of how our bodies work. She shared her stories with the world, was a finalist in a bunch of romance contests, and traded her lab coat for a laptop. All of this was done with her college sweetheart by her side. He helps her pursue the HEA on a daily basis, even when she has her mind on sexy book boyfriends and cover models. When Barbra’s not writing, she’s likely to be taking a walk, petting one or more of her many animals, or playing the cello! Visit BarbraCampbell.com for more.
