Take The Heat — Vashti Valant

THE FIRECASTERS SERIES
Firecasters can start fires with their minds. Most people don't realize they exist. Some fear them. Some want to control them. And the only way to channel their power is through intense sexual bonding…

TAKE THE HEAT
As an unbonded Firecaster, Justin enjoys cooling off -- literally -- by taking a dip in an isolated swimming hole. Nude. Which is fine, until a crazy woman with a gun threatens to shoot him if he doesn't get out and lead her to the Fire Sanctuary.

Avah's bakery was burned down by a Firecaster and she wants justice. But she never expected to have the same hunk she accidently saw naked assigned to help her investigate. And she's not about to admit her attraction to him. Not even when they find themselves on the run from a second attack by the arsonist...

This is a stand-alone novella. It is the second book in the Firecasters Series, but the stories are independent, with no cliff-hangers, and can be read in any order.
