Tested By Fire — Kathryn Springer

HIS WOUNDS WERE MORE THAN SKIN-DEEP

Scarred ex-cop John Gabriel didn't need anyone else's problems, but he couldn't refuse a request from his former chief. Until John learned what the favor to Chief Kelly entailed: keeping an eye on his granddaughter, Fiona, a young police officer facing a dangerous work situation.

John quickly saw that Fiona was in trouble -- the fiery redhead lacked departmental support as she investigated a serial arsonist. And when the attractive rookie was trapped in a burning building, John was the one who ended up rescuing her. Yet could Fiona's strong faith rub off on the cynic and make John believe in the Lord...and in the love that was miraculously blossoming in the stony soil of his heart?
