I knew Chief Brock Sullivan was forbidden fruit the moment I laid eyes on his photo, but nothing prepared me for the heat of his hands on my innocent body. When the smoking hot fire chief agrees to help me, I promise my best friend I'll behave myself. But one innocent hiking trip turns disastrous when we're caught in a sudden mountain thunderstorm, forcing us to seek shelter together. Alone. Soaking wet. With tension thick enough to cut with a knife. There's something in the way his gaze lingers on me that makes me wonder if I'm not the only one fighting inappropriate thoughts. His professional demeanor slips just enough when we're alone—a lingering touch while helping me across slippery rocks and the gentle tuck of hair behind my ear. But how can I pursue the heart-stopping chemistry we share without risking my friendship with the daughter he loves? The Blaze Between Us is a short, sweet, and steamy small-town instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Cedar Fire Department series.
