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.
