It's almost Memorial Day weekend here in the United States.

Although it's a somber day to honor those who died during military service, this weekend also traditionally kicks off summer with swimming and sun. What might be the perfect romance for a weekend that celebrates both service and summer? Well...

The Slow Burn includes the element of service, because the hero, Lieutenant Caden Sterling, is a firefighter who rescues humans on the job and horses off-duty. And, since summer is when swimming pools are busy, it's fitting that the heroine is the new coach of the Masterson University swim team. She's facing an unexpected pregnancy, but her boyfriend has left the country--and her. Caden is determined to be the friend this new-to-town, single mother needs. Just friends...until he must fight his way out of the friend zone to win the heart of the woman who has stolen his.
