From the author of the viral bestseller, Kindling, comes a new spicy autumnal romance set in the Scottish Highlands! Love can be explosive... Things haven't been easy for Eiley but she's finally stepping into the light. With a new flat above the local bookshop, Thorn & Thistle, and a job that lets her indulge her bookworm fantasies, Eiley is on the path to rediscovering who she is - until her village of Belbarrow gets an annoyingly self-important new fireman called Warren, who it seems is always there to throw cold water on her plans. Warren, with his hot looks and cool lines, is the last thing Eiley wants. Cocky, flirty and superior, she's not about to be another notch on his belt. But when chaos sweeps through Eiley's life, forcing her and Warren to team up to save the shop, sparks fly in ways she never expected. As autumn leaves swirl and the village gears up for their annual fireworks display, Eiley must navigate the smoking chemistry between them while facing the ghosts of her past. She knows that sometimes love hurts - but other times, it burns...
