Fated Heat — Morgan Fox

Sage Nixon is a career-focused firefighter who knows all about living with pain. As a child, she was badly scarred after being ejected from a car during a head on collision that killed her parents. Emotionally traumatized, she fears intimacy and prefers solitude to potential embarrassment. Years later, she meets Jace Burnette, a sexy police officer by day and a bartender by night, with a bad reputation. She feels his eyes on her and can read his intentions in his piercing, hazel eyes, but what he desires she can never give him. Jace is a playboy with no interest of every settling down. He has seen the ugly side of marriage and wants no part of it. But he does want Sage. Even if just for one night. Trouble is, Sage won't give him the time of day--or will she?
