About the author
I'm an author of steamy suspenseful romance.
I have always loved the idea of happy endings, but with real life drama.
I'm a native of North Carolina and have always loved the beauty of the Appalachian Mountains. Hiking is one of my favorite hobbies as it helps to clear my mind and allow my imagination to roam freely.
I'm an avid reader of all genres.
I love traveling, especially to small communities, as the people are always so nice and welcoming, with hidden gems in their sweet little towns.

She's managed to pass the tests and be hired as a firefighter, but for the last 5 years she's never been accepted by the men from the hierarchy down. Her fellow team members have tried their best to torture her to make her quit. But now someone is trying to kill her?
Derrick Monroe never wanted to follow his father's firefighting career. He wanted to be a police detective, but he knew his hometown police force was too small for that to happen there. He moved to San Francisco, became a detective and then moved to Largo, Maine.
He's returned home to arrange services for his mother's funeral and settle her estate. When he learns how Charley has been treated at work, he's enraged. They've been best friends since she was 8 and he was 10. His parents considered her part of their family. However, there's definitely something wrong in Hallow Falls. In a week there's been multiple fires with multiple fatalities. Who's the arsonist? Is it a single sicko or?

Derrick's father was a firefighter, and had saved Charley when she was a kid, and she became fascinated by the job. Derrick's father was killed on the job, and she decided to be a firefighter to help people like Derrick's father had, and to honor his memory for saving her as a child. Meanwhile, Derrick had left town to be a cop and detective. Now he's back because his mother passed away. When he sees Charley again, he realizes he wants a relationship with her.
There was a lot of drama due to the other lousy, cruel, and lazy firefighters on her "team". She worked very hard and never complained at the terrible treatment by the other guys. Shocking developments happen, but eventually Charley and Derrick have their HEA with plenty of steamy parts. Their relationship is sweet & I loved the way that Derrick supported her.

I enjoyed this story with the steamy chemistry between Derrick and Charley, as well as the intriguing suspense plot of the arson case. There was definitely a lot of drama surrounding Charley and the firehouse that was frustrating for me as a reader, and more specifically as a woman. Charley never should have put with that treatment for so long, and the actual resolution of it was not sufficient for me at all, but Charley is a much nicer person than me, I guess!🤷🏼♀️😂 I liked that there was so much action crammed into such a short format. Although I’ve never disliked so many characters in one book before, it was a fun change for me.🤪 Watching Charley finally stand up for herself, as well as Derrick be there for her balanced out the jerks I loved to hate on!😉.
