Romance Contemporary

After the devastating funeral of a fellow colleague who died as a result of arson, firefighter Adelaide Manzella thinks tequila is the only thing that will help. Meeting up with fellow firefighter Eli Grant for tequila shots starts as a flirtation and ends up in scorching-hot, erotic sex like she's never before experienced. Realizing Addie is a threat to the dark secret from his past, Eli knows Addie's curiosity is on alert as she witnesses the burn scars on his body. Now arson is spreading through their precinct, and Eli is again facing the horrors of his brother and father's deaths years ago, with the holiday reminder upcoming. Erotic, steamy sex as an outlet has now become as necessary a staple as breathing for both of them. Wicked sex isn't the only thing to keep them together as their relationship totally burns. Addie needs Eli to open up to her about the deep-seated secret he possesses. Unless they can overcome this obstacle, Addie might be lost to Eli. A fact brought home to him when a fire caused by arson threatens her life. Ruby McNally certainly knows how to write a graphic, sensual, and hot, hot story. The two characters each have their own idiosyncrasies but sure know how to turn the heat up to scorching. SINGE is #2 in the Lights & Sirens series. Strap yourself in for a thrill of excitement that keeps you on your toes to the very end. Ruby McNally is a very entertaining and clever author!

SUMMARY

Their slow burn could build to a five-alarm…or go up in smoke. Addie Manzella does her best to keep her complicated personal life separate from work. But after the funeral of a colleague who died in an arson fire, things come to a head. She goes tequila shot for tequila shot with fellow firefighter Eli Grant—a contest that ends in the bedroom. Sure, the sex is great—okay, it’s the best of her life—but Eli clearly isn’t a long-term kind of guy. Though his post-divorce antics read more goofball than player, he’s a complication she doesn’t need. Bold, brassy Addie is a serious threat to Eli’s determination to hide a dark history. Not even his ex-wife knows the whole story behind the burn scars on his body. Yet he can’t resist the challenge of pursuing Addie—especially since she clearly likes being chased. The fire that took their friend, though, isn’t the last. As more buildings—and more lives—go up in flames, Eli’s past comes roiling to the present. Threatening to send their fledgling romance up in smoke. Warning: This book contains two wicked-hot firefighters, a dark secret, sex in semi-public places, and a smidge of Catholic guilt.
