Caitlin Tyler doesnโt do bridgesโshe just doesnโt know it until she lands her dream job and freezes halfway across her new townโs towering death span. Cue the cocky, infuriating fireman who goads her off the bridge. Heโs hot, but heโs also exactly the kind of guy she wants to avoid, which she manages to do for a whole four hours.
Lieutenant Shane Hendricks is only two weeks away from leaving Dry Rock. He sure as hell doesnโt need to get involved with a woman he has to rescue twice in one day. The fact that sheโs clearly annoyed by him doesnโt deter him from throwing down a challengeโone that proves hard to resist for all the wrong reasons.
Theyโre moving in different directions. Leaving should be easy, but falling for Caitlin might be the one fire he canโt put out.
USA Today bestselling author Sarah Ballance and her husband of what he calls "many long, long years" live on the mid-Atlantic coast with their six young children, all of whom are perfectly adorable when they're asleep. She never dreamed of becoming an author, but as a homeschooling mom, she often jokes she writes fiction because if she wants anyone to listen to her, she has to make them up. (As it turns out, her characters aren't much better than the kids). When not buried under piles of laundry, she may be found adrift in the Atlantic (preferably on a boat) or seeking that ever-elusive perfect writing spot where not even the kids can find her. As an author, she loves creating unforgettable stories while putting her characters through an unkind amount of torture-a hobby that has nothing to do with living with six children. (Really.) While she entertains a love of all genres, you're most likely to find her immersed in the utter deliciousness that is sexy contemporary romance.
