A Lick of Flame // Igniting the Bad Boy — Cathryn Fox

Where there's heat, there's a smoking-hot firefighter.

No man lights Madison Kelly's fire quite like Sean Adams, the firefighter she's been hired to guard during the Boys of Beachville calendar shoot. Though he stars in her hottest, steamiest fantasies, he's the last person she's going to tell. An accident left its mark on her, body and soul. But when she catches Sean looking at her like she's water for a man dying of thirst, she wonders if it's possible he might see the girl beneath the scars.

Ever since he pulled Madison from the fire that injured her, Sean's been hot for her. Too bad she clearly has no interest in him or so he thinks, until he sees a spark in her eyes that says she burns for him as much as he does for her. No more tiptoeing around the matter a blatant seduction is in order.

Soon they re-igniting the sheets, but come morning Madison's old fears and insecurities threaten to snuff the flames to ashes. Except Sean's fuse has been lit, and he has no intention of letting her put it out. Ever.

Warning: First rule for putting out a fire: take a firm grip on the fireman...er, the hose. Second rule depends on what kind of fire we're talking about.
