Taking the Heat — Kathryn Shay

Award-winning author Kathryn Shay delivers a searing novel of risk and passion. A female firefighter battles the odds stacked against her---in life and in love...

Facing the future
Working as the cook at his family's Manhattan pub, Liam O'Neil has nothing but respect for his firefighter regulars. But one stands out. With her athletic build, strawberry blond hair, and easygoing charm, Sophie Tyler takes his break away.

Facing fear
When Sophie takes a part-time job at the pub, her casual interest in Liam turns into full-blown desire. But she must tread carefully around him. A widower with two young sons, Liam can't put his heart on the line for someone who walks into burning buildings---especially when an arsonist is on the loose.

Finding your way
But Liam is drawn to Sophie--like a moth to a flame. And danger haunts their every kiss...
