He’ll risk his life...just not his heart
Fiona O’Brien knows how to minimize risk...by never, ever falling for a guy in a hazardous job. And when her brother applies to become an elite Forest Service firefighter, Fiona hits the roof. She’ll do anything to keep him safe—even if it means using every sexy tool in her arsenal to seduce the one firefighter who can change her brother’s mind.
Hotshot Wyatt Andrews swore to avoid controlling women like Fiona. And he has no intention of intervening in her family business. Still, he can’t resist the fiery redhead with the deadly curves. Soon they’re engulfed in a blaze of lust that incinerates their self-control. They’re playing each other, but if they’re not careful they may both get burned.
“Do you ever take a risk?”
Fiona’s eyes widened as Wyatt stepped away from the doorjamb to close the distance between them. “What do you mean?”
“Do you ever drive over the speed limit? Accept a drink from a stranger?”
She shook her head so vehemently a strand of red hair slipped free of its tight knot.
“You don’t know what you’re missing...” He wanted to show her. He leaned a little closer—close enough to brush his mouth across hers.
Her breath shuddered out, warm and silky against his lips. And her thick lashes drifted down as her eyes closed. He deepened the kiss—as much as he could with a desk between them. He wanted to kick it aside, wanted nothing between his body and hers. He groaned at the thought.
And she jerked back as if she’d just awakened. Her chair creaked as it rolled her away from the desk—away from him. “I asked to meet with you just to talk,” she said.
He uttered a sigh of disappointment. “That’s too bad...”
While I have written for other Harlequin series, I’ve always been a fan of Blaze. So I’m thrilled to be writing my own Harlequin Blaze miniseries. Hotshots are the ultimate fire-fighting heroes. They’re the men and women on the front line, battling the blaze. The heroes of Hotshot Heroes are brave and strong and sexy as hell. How is a heroine to resist them?
Cautious insurance agent Fiona O’Brien does her best, but she can’t deny her red-hot attraction to Hotshot Wyatt Andrews. She resists her feelings, though, because she knows his profession is too dangerous. She won’t risk her heart on a man like him. She saw how devastated her mother was when her father and stepfather both lost their lives because of the chances they’d taken.
So no matter how attracted she is to Wyatt, she doesn’t intend to fall for him. But then a wildfire hits their town of Northern Lakes, Michigan, and she worries that it may be too late for her heart. Is it too late for Wyatt, too?
I hope you enjoy the exciting romance of Fiona and Wyatt!
Happy reading!
