Burning Wild
"Jake couldn't stop his eyes from dropping to my body. His gaze lingered on my curves, his face thirsting for something more than the spilled coffee. The way his eyes fumed made me squirm with longing. It was all I could do not to reach out and touch his rippling bicep, to pull him closer to me. I barely knew this man, but the way his face smoldered as he stared at me made me feel sexy for the first time in my life. It ignited a desire in me and awakened a sexual goddess who had been suppressed for a long time. I wasn't a promiscuous woman, but if Jake Lucero had asked me to go home with him at that moment, I would have jumped in his car without question." ____________________________________ Catalina De la Rosa's world is upended when she falls victim to the unpredictable California wildfires. She loses everything in the raging inferno- her home, her invaluable possessions, even a bit of the person she was before the traumatic experience. When Cat meets Jake Lucero, the firefighter who risked everything to save her life, she slowly starts to find herself again. Jake is sullen and brooding, mysterious and closed off, but he stirs something in Cat that she had long ago repressed. Cat is acutely aware of the escalating chemistry forming between them, but she is hesitant to pursue her feelings for fear of losing herself again. Cat soon discovers that Jake is as wild as the fires that forever altered her life. His dark secrets and risqué past threaten to destroy everything she has built. She knows that she should keep her distance, but she can't seem to stay away. Though it is dangerous to play with fire, the smoldering connection between her and Jake keeps Cat coming back for more. Now, her life will never be the same. © Dawn Norwell ___________________________________________ *3rd place winner in the Winter Rose Awards #1 in Young Adult #1 in Starcrossed Lovers #1 in Firefightter #6 in Adult #3 in Powerful Women #3 in Love and LossComplete
