Rate this book
This collection of four dazzling stories proves that falling in love has all the excitement of a brilliant fireworks display.

1. Playing With Fire by Elaine Coffman finds Susan Klein's birthday fireworks starting a dangerous brush fire. But rancher Wyatt Whittaker has fireworks of a different kind in mind for the charming city woman.

2. Summer Fling by Victoria Barrett finds passion sparking between old college friends Anne Hayden and Adam Weston during a sultry Fourth of July weekend. Will they let the embers die or grow into a blazing fire?

3. One Star-Spangled Night by Ashland Price unites a modern-day nurse, Alison Kimball, with wounded Revolutionary War Officer Richard Adams in a history-making romance.

4. Showers and Sparks by Trana Mae Simmons links free spirit Gerrie Cartwright with stick-in-the-mud Judge Zachariah Brenham. But the powers of love can set fire to even the slowest of heroes, and by the Fourth of July, passion is exploding like the fireworks in the sky overhead. Celebrating the Fourth of July has never before been this much fun!

A lover of history, she has penned several novels set in Scotland, Regency England, Italy and the American West. To date, she is the author of nineteen novels and five novellas.

While writing her first novel, My Enemy, My Love, she found herself inspired by a letter her great-great grandmother, Susannah Jane Dowell Shacklett wrote in 1920, telling about her journey from Brandeburg, Kentucky to San Antonio, Texas, and then going with an army escort to El Paso, Texas, where her brother, Ben Dowell, a veteran of the Mexican War, was El Paso's first mayor.

Elaine continued to write best-selling, award-winning books until the publication of her eleventh novel, If You Loved Me, which was the last book of her beloved Mackinnon series and her first book to hit the New York Times bestseller list.

Her first suspense novel, Alone in the Dark, was published by Pocket books in 2006.
