Into the Fire — Donna Alward

The heat is on...

The last person firefighter Chris Jackson expects to rescue from a burning animal shelter is Ally Gallant his ex-fiancee. Even though three years have passed since she gave him back his ring, one look at her frightened face in the haze of a smoky building is all it takes for him to realize he'll still do "anything" to protect her.

Ally's put her heart and soul into the shelter, and she's devastated when it's destroyed. What's more, Chris is suddenly there for her in ways she doesn't expect ways she's sure she doesn't deserve as she makes decisions about her future. Then there's the not-so-small matter of the blazing passion between them that refuses to be extinguished.

But when Chris is injured while on a call, Ally's reminded of all the reasons she walked away. Now she must look deep within herself to find the courage to put fear on the back burner and step into the fire into love.

Warning: Adorable dogs, a hot firefighter and five-alarm passion. Fire extinguisher (or cold shower) highly recommended.
