Someone’s lighting fires. A town needs a hero. Passions will ignite. Stacey Turner is ready to kickstart her life ten years after a horrific bushfire that killed her father and left her scarred. She dreams of a new career and hasn’t dated since high school and doesn’t know where to begin. When Stacey takes a big risk driving a race car without a permit, she meets a gorgeous stranger. Sparks fly as they flirt over a drink. A kiss leads to another and turns into a steamy one-night stand in the back of his vintage Mustang. Returning to work two days later, Stacey finds her one-night stand is the new locum doctor. Doctor Harry Cain wants to escape the ghosts of his past. He didn’t expect to have a chance encounter with a beautiful woman who refuses to tell him her name. When he arrives in Ballydoon for a temporary work contract, the beautiful woman from his one-night stand is now his colleague, Stacey. But, Stacey absolutely refuses to date a doctor. They both have scars—physical and emotional. As their passion ignites, people’s lives are on the line. Will Stacey and Harry both take a risk to give their futures, and love, a chance? Ignite is the first book in a four-book, small town, contemporary romance series, Fiery Hearts of Ballydoon, which follows the Turner family on their historic sheep station. They volunteer as firefighters for the rural fire brigade, find love, and work together to stop an arsonist threatening the entire district.

Author

Louisa Duval is an Australian author who writes small town, contemporary romance set in Ballydoon, where the heroes are rugged as the landscape around them, and the stories steamier than an Aussie heat wave. Louisa has worked in radio, recruitment, education, freelance writing and corporate communications, and once traipsed around a national park looking for wombat burrows. When she isn’t working in the city, she spends as much time as possible with her family at their riverside acreage watching the wallabies and drinking the local wine. She is a proud supporter of her local rural fire brigade and hopes she will never be in the front line of a bushfire and admires those who have. She lives with her husband, two kids, a lazy cattle dog-Kelpie cross, three chickens, and many indoor plants.
