Saving the Rookie — Jennifer Youngblood

Friendship or flames? What's a girl got to do to get a certain firefighter to see her as more than just “one of the guys?”

Ani Hyde's steely heart won't open to anyone.

Before her mother's drug overdose, she learned to take care of herself and it made her fiery -- maybe too fiery. Now, years later, she's become a professional heart-breaker, keeping everyone at arm's length and rejecting every bachelor on her reality TV show.

Only one man has ever broken through her defenses… and he hasn't got a clue.

Rhett Singer was always protective of Ani, but she left him smoldering after she fled their hometown for LA without so much as a goodbye. Now that she's returned to Jackson Hole with a camera crew and a possessive boy-toy, Rhett realizes that she is also igniting the forgotten embers of his heart. Though Rhett's supposed to be the firefighter covering Ani's event, he can't seem to keep things professional and the “rookie” finds himself running headlong into the fray once again to rescue the girl he once knew.

Can Ani and Rhett temper their fiery hearts before it all goes up in flames? Or will the misunderstandings of the past engulf them?
