Lieutenant Howard Paxton loves his job as a firefighter,
and the thrill he receives from saving lives. However,
Howard's sleep is plagued by nightmares, and he works his
demons out in the gym. Those late night workouts have
earned him the nickname of Six-Pack. He is no stranger to
the ladies although he is tired of being used for his body
and looks. Howard has no real plans to settle down with
anyone in particular until Kat McKenna swoons into his arms
at a fire. She is definitely someone that he wants to get
to know better. Has the confirmed bachelor finally met his
match? Will he let his heart belong to another?
Kat McKenna is a vivacious schoolteacher. When her parents
and their friends left for vacation, she never dreamed that
the house she was looking after would catch on fire.
Unfortunately, it did, but she was fortunate enough to fall
into the arms of the most dashing fireman that she had ever
seen. She knows that they share a mutual attraction, but
there are some things in his past that still bother him.
She realizes that he pushes her away so that he can keep
the past locked away. Will she ever get this man to open
up to her? Is he worth fighting for?
Howard and Kat may have an instant attraction, but there is
someone else out there who is willing to tear them apart.
An arsonist sees their relationship as just another pawn in
his crazy game. Will the two of them fall into his trap?
Or will they survive the madness of the man who is out for
revenge?
Jo Davis has written a gripping romantic suspense. Her
writing draws us into a fascinating game where a killer is
seeking vengeance. She even gives us glimpses into the
crazed mind of the arsonist. Her story is never boring and
there are many twists and turns, some of which are
predictable, but overall it is an enjoyable tale. TRIAL BY
FIRE is filled with action, some sexy and some sinister,
that pulls the reader in for a sensational ride that leads
to an exciting, suspense filled conclusion. I look forward
to the next book about the men and the woman who populate
Station Five.
one of the handsome, hard-bodied firefighters of Station
Five.
Four-alarm fires have nothing on him…
Howard may love being a firefighter and riding his Harley,
but there’s nothing he values more than his bachelorhood.
That is, until a feisty, curvaceous teacher named Kat
McKenna falls into his arms at the scene of a fire—and
melts the six-foot-six tower of bronze muscle…
But just as passion ignites between them—and they explore
new heights of sexual ecstasy—a ruthless arsonist with a
deadly secret and a thirst for vengeance becomes their
worst nightmare…
