Love in Flames — N.J. Walters

A love to last a lifetime…or a dream turned to ash?

Spells, Secrets and Seductions, Book 3

When Esther goes along with her friend's candle-magick spell, it's not because she wants a lover. But a good old-fashioned one-night stand could be just what she needs to get her mind off Ryan Jameson. Having lost her father in the line of duty, she has no plans to lose her heart to a firefighter.

Not that Ryan doesn't heat up her nightly dreams. Those erotic fantasies invariably end in deadly flames -- a still-smoking echo of her ancestral namesake, whose wedding day ended in the fiery loss of her husband. A man whose dying breath was a promise to one day find his beloved.

All his life, Ryan's dreams have taken him backward in time. As he matured, so did those dreams -- erotic fantasies of a woman he loves but has yet to meet. Then he finds her in Burnt Cove. But she's not only holding him at arm's length, she refuses to acknowledge their time-proof bond.

On a magical Samhain night, undeniable desire is stronger than the walls around her heart. But time has one last test for them -- one that will meld them into one, or drive them apart forever.

Warning: This book contains a simple candle-magick spell, a hunky fireman, past lives, lost lovers and enough heat to start a bonfire.
