Burned

Scorching Heat, Book 1

2019

A number one Amazon best seller in thriller and suspense action fiction! Jackson has two fighting fires and Blaire. One love is deadly and unpredictable while the other is sweet and innocent. Except, Blair has a past that is far from innocent, and it is catching up to her in ways she never expected. Even worse, Jackson’s heroin-addicted brother threatens to destroy their relationship more than any fire ever could. Fighting fires is something Jackson knows how to handle - he has trained for it and can face down any threat with a clear head. Opening himself up and being vulnerable in a relationship is another matter entirely, and he isn’t sure how to be totally honest with Blaire about his own rough childhood. When Blaire narrowly escapes a fire, hard choices must be made. Jackson must choose between his family alliances or lose the only woman he has ever loved.

The One-Thirty

2020

Griffin is a firefighter, paramedic, and fire investigator with a dark secret—his father is the likely suspect in a spree of arsons in his beloved town of Singer Springs. Once an infamous arsonist in the One-Thirty syndicate, Griffin’s dad was in prison. But now he’s out, and the recent fires match his signature M.O. No-one can know Griffin’s secret—not his firefighting family or his love interest, Luna, the daughter of a Massachusetts senator. With the arson fires getting worse, Griffin must choose between the profession he loves and his devotion to his family. His fellow firefighter adoptive brother, Lodi, proves to be an obstacle, both romantically with Luna, and in his insistence that their dad is innocent. When the fires become personal, Griffin's judgment skews. He’ll have to let his moral compass be his guide—yet his morals keep sending him in all the wrong directions.

Give me a gritty story, pushing through obstacles, followed by a chance at true love and I’m a happy woman. I fought for love, long and hard, and found it. Along the way, I had a lot of fun, figuring if something exists to be explored, I may as well explore it. How else can you figure out what you like? My books have won awards like Romance Reviews Reader’s Choice New Adult Erotic (Blurred Lines) and have landed on the NY Times and USA Today Bestseller’s list (Sugar Baby, now titled Sugar Love). If I’m not writing, you can find me under the water, scuba diving, or on land, hiking, saving lives as an EMT, or exploring my breathtaking surroundings in the Pacific Northwest, alongside my sexy, firefighting guy. Like fantasy and sci-fi? Look for my books under the pen name Calinda B
