Fighting the Flames (Southern Heat #2)

It was a new start, a new life, and a chance to make a difference. After an ugly divorce, Meg Devers was ready to move on with her life. She was making a difference to the lives of others too, converting the old house she’d scrimped and saved to buy into a shelter. With the support of the community, her dream had finally come true. She loved her new life, right up until she woke trapped in the attic with the house in flames.

As an arson investigator, Liam Cohen worked across the county, but Monroe felt the most like home. That night, attending another routine house fire turned out to be anything but. Meg Devers set off every protective instinct he had, and more than a little lust. She was so strong, but at the same time as vulnerable as hell. He wanted to hold her, to keep her safe. But he should keep it professional—at least until he can prove she didn’t set the fire.

But then someone tries to kill her again, and all bets are off.

Fighting the Flames is book 2 in the Southern Heat series, and can be read stand-alone. Characters from earlier books do appear as secondary characters.
