Redemption (The McKenzie Ridge #5)

Jessie Clarke has worked hard for almost a decade to overcome the trauma of her past, and building her career as a fireman in McKenzie Ridge has helped her become a strong, independent woman. But, underneath her fowl mouth and tough exterior, Jessie hides a secret that could not only endanger her but all those she loves in her small mountain town.

Blake Cooper, McKenzie Ridge’s sexy police chief with his rugged good looks and sexy muscular build, has secrets of his own. Secrets that could bring the strongest man to his knees. He fiercely protects the people of his town, especially those closest to him, overstepping boundaries even he understands could come back to haunt him.

After almost a decade, Jessie and Blake’s love-hate relationship comes to a screeching halt as they’re forced to work together to keep McKenzie Ridge safe. But, when Jessie’s past catches up with her, will Blake be able to keep her safe? Will she learn to trust him, or will his secrets reignite the angst between them, fueling the fire of their destruction? What lurks in the shadows can either drive them apart or spark a blaze that could consume not only them but all those around them.
