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.

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
The Heart And The Healing
Dr. Clara Carter has spent her entire life proving herself. With a photographic memory and relentless work ethic, she climbed the ranks to become one of the best neurosurgeons in the country-only to have her own parents dismiss her achievements as luck, or worse, cheating. Smiling through exhaustion, she devotes every second to her patients, healing others while feeling irreparably broken herself. There's no time for love, no time for herself-just work, work, work. Then firefighter Noah West stumbles-literally-into her life, bruised, bandaged, and grinning like he didn't just walk out of a burning building. He's reckless, loud, and too damn charming for his own good, the kind of man who laughs in the face of danger and doesn't take anything seriously. Except his job. And, apparently, her. But when one visit isn't enough, Noah starts showing up weekly with suspiciously minor injuries-just for the chance to see her. She calls him reckless. He calls it fate. She's spent her life holding everything together. He's made peace with letting go. But somewhere between healing and burning, they just might find what they've both been missing.
