Love Me Always — Cindy Stark

Kaitlin Collier has worked hard to refine her wild side, and has invested her heart and soul into teaching troubled students to do the same. When an unknown culprit detonates a pipe bomb inside her classroom, the small town where she lives explodes into chaos. Everyone points the finger at one of her students. She can't believe he's guilty and risks her reputation to back him.

Firefighter Levi Turpin would like to save the town and protect the beautiful teacher who's captured his attention. But he's been warned to remain detached until the perpetrator is caught to avoid tainting the investigation. Unfortunately, he has to see Kaitlin to do his job, and fighting his ever-growing feelings is a battle he can't win.

If Levi can find the answers, he might have a chance with Kaitlin. Problem is, all evidence in the case points to a delinquent kid from her class. If Levi proves the kid is guilty, he'll break her heart and crush any chance of a future together.
