This trip is exactly what she needs to recover from the traumatic end of her last relationship, and reconnect with her wild side. Avery's plan to have a simple fling is complicated when she develops feelings for Jack, a sexy fire Elementalist-turned-firefighter, who reawakens a part of her she thought was lost.

What starts out as a harmless adventure turns into a high-stakes game of hunter and hunted in “The Playing with Fire”. *Recommended for readers age 18+ due to mature language and explicit content.
