I’m really happy to host Dawn and her new release today, because I got to see the book in it’s early stages. To see it come all the way to publication tickles me to no end! So, without further ado, here’s Dawn and Burn.

development until an explosion destroys her first major project and

Firefighter
Ryan Monroe wants a spot on the arson team, and getting close to
Chloe might be the best way to solve his first investigation. Despite
a painful past of his own, Ryan has dedicated himself to saving
people, and when he realizes Chloe is in danger, she’s no
exception. He just might be the perfect guy to rescue her, but their
attraction could bring them both down in flames.

EXCERPT:
“Since you rejected my
suggestion of drinking till you pass out”—Ryan stepped down off
the bar stool and held out his hand—“dance with me.”

“What?” Chloe’s mouth fell
open as she gave her head a slight shake. “No, I—”

He took her hand, and even though
his tug was gentle, her arm tensed. He glanced down to where their
hands were joined. He’d felt it, too. “Come on.” He threw a
glance at Jeremy and Lizzie, with their arms wrapped around each
other as they swayed carelessly to a country ballad Lizzie had
selected. “Your friend’s obviously not going anywhere for a
while, so why not?”

She hopped down from her seat,
and he walked backward, leading her to an area near the
dartboard—clear of tables, though not quite a “dance floor.” He
pulled her into a loose embrace, and her skin warmed at the firm hand
curling over the small of her back, at the calloused fingers gently
gripping her freshly manicured ones in the other.

He gazed down at her, still with
that reassuring smile. “See? Not so bad. I’ll have your mind off
that crap in no time.”

She couldn’t fight the grin
teasing her lips as she raised a hand to his shoulder, settling in a
little closer. “You do this often? Dance with girls to help them
get their minds off their problems? You really are
a hero.”

She laughed as her palm met the
hard plane of his chest, and she quickly swept it to the side until
it landed on his bicep. As if that
was any less
distracting. The guy was a solid wall of muscle. “Is it working?”
he asked.

Slowly, the tension drained from
