She might've been the muse to a Carrie Underwood song. A Miranda Lambert CD with all the angst and twice the gasoline. It wasn't just trauma that Cassie Mckenna was running away from. It was her she was most scared of. Same broken-hearted girl who wanted nothing but to strike a match and watch it all burn to the ground. At war with her demons, Cassie leaves behind her tragic small town in Oklahoma for New York City to follow her dream as a photographer. But one vulnerable moment in the backseat with a New York City firefighter ignites her world like a backdraft. Taking another chance at love, Cassie plays the part of keeping up appearances as a firefighter's wife. Noe is her perfect match. After all, she loves fire...She really, really loves fire. Can a recovering arsonist keep the fires of her marriage simmering into happily ever after, or will her barely contained addiction once again destroy everything she loves? *** They say complements make the best kind of relationship. He likes rock. I like country. He drowns everything in Tapitio. I prefer Tabasco sauce. He's sweet and laid back, and I'm the one who holds a grudge. He puts out the fires, and I start them. Is that a deal breaker?
