Feeding the Flames — Leah Braemel

Sometimes your soulmate has been right in front of you their whole life. It shouldn't take almost losing them to find them.

Volunteer firefighter Zac Buchanan has been carrying a torch for Tabatha Morgan since…well, forever. A promise he made years ago backfired, sending Tabatha into the arms of another man, and him into a decade of heartache. Now Tabatha's back in town, newly divorced, and the sparks between them are setting them both aflame.

Tabatha would have bet her secret five-alarm chili recipe that her school girl crush on Zac had died out long ago. Except those slumbering embers reignited the moment Zac walked into her diner. Now each time she sees him -- hears him, thinks about him -- she can't imagine her life without him again.

But if their new-found love and sizzlin' hot action in the bedroom -- and living room, kitchen and bathroom -- is to survive, Tabatha must also accept the smoke, flames and danger of Zac's job. Or their happy-ever-after will forever be extinguished.
