BOOK ONE: LINE OF FIRE SERIES, set in the Somewhere, TX continuity series. Claire Milton moves back to Somewhere, TX with her life in shambles. She lost her job, her savings, and the support of her parents. But she has an idea that will put everything back on track. And she needs Meg Klein's help. When Claire attends her scheduled taste-testing at Meg's Bakery in Old Town Somewhere, TX, she doesn't expect to have company, let alone her first crush.  And what a crush he was. Strapping fireman, town sports hero, all around hunky and single for years. So what is Aidan doing at a wedding cake tasting? Captain Aidan Conley doesn't get out much. He's been mostly in limbo, trying to avoid the town gossips who only want to talk about him and his late wife. When a favor for his sister sets him in the path of Claire Milton, his high school best friend, he can't stop thinking about how much he wants to kiss her. But when a cold case at the fire house puts his career in jeopardy and Claire is the only person standing between him and a life sentence, he has to put his feelings aside and fight for his life. A firefighter seasoned in the investigation of fires must be under suspicion when his wife dies in a house fire. Even if they were the happiest couple in town. So when Claire discovers evidence that they weren't as happy as they seem and it casts a light on Aidan she doesn't want to admit, she has to choose between her resurfacing feelings and her own safety... Also included in the Somewhere, TX Boxed Set Volume 1: TEXAS SUNRISE.
