A few months before her brother's wedding, Psychology professor Lizbeth Ackerman breaks her engagement. Loneliness is eating her alive and her fiancé's overbearing family pressuring her to give them an heir, something she just found out won't ever be able to do, it's simply too much. Sawyer Cox is a man who's been burned more than once, and not just because he's a firefighter. Life's been tough, shattering his family in the worst way, but that hasn't prevented him from being happy for his best friend's engagement. Lizbeth and Sawyer haven't seen each other for a long time, and when their eyes meet again, unexpected sparks fly, shaking them with emotions they thought were long forgotten. However, afraid that the blazing desire between them might combust in a way that hurts not just them, but people they love, they will have to decide if they should feed the flame or extinguish it once and for all. _________ [WARNING +18] This book will contain explicit sex scenes, sensitive topics, and mature language.
