Heart of Fire

Description

From USA Today bestselling author Sedona Venez comes a new, intense stand-alone firefighter romance about overcoming breathtaking losses at a young age, first love and second chances. A friendship torn apart by fire… Lukas was my best friend, the first kid to greet me when I moved from NYC to Vermont. We never got past friendship, but when he disappeared shortly after his mother’s tragic death in a fire, I always wondered if we could have been more. Back in New York City, working the beat, I got the wind knocked out of my sails—and found out what happened to the boy I’d known. Even when we tell ourselves it’s just catching up between friends, I can’t deny that Lukas feels like home, even more than the place I grew up. But I can’t be the carefree girl I once was. I can’t trust myself to know what I want, or how to get it anymore. I can’t trust anyone, even my grandmother, to understand my scars. What happened to me as a cop haunts me, makes me question whether I chose the right career—but when a crime spree starts in my hometown, I can’t help but jump in. And when Lukas shows me his scars, I know he can handle mine. With a career with the NYPD beckoning me back to the city, and obligations pulling me back home, how can I know whether things with Lukas can even work, no matter how much we care about each other? Heart of Fire is a stand-alone, Second Chance, Firefighter Romance.
