Where There's Smoke... — Laura Abbot

Fighting fire with fire?

Jeri Monahan is a volunteer firefighter in her Arkansas hometown -- and Dan Contini, former navy officer, is the town's new fire chief.

Jeri's a natural risk taker -- and Dan's a protector, a man who's traditional enough to believe that women shouldn't be exposed to physical danger.

Jeri's a woman who wants it all, including marriage and family -- and Dan's a divorced father, embittered by his ex-wife's unfaithfulness.

The differences that separate Dan and Jeri are unmistakable -- but so are the sparks flying between them. Can those sparks of attraction be fanned into the steady fire of love?
