I came across this book and several other Harlequin Intrigues at a yard sale the summer of 2003. The covers caught my eye.
Julie Miller's Kansas City's Bravest brought me out of a several year reading slump. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It also introduced me to the Harlequin Intrigue series.

Back Cover: Arson investigator Gideon Taylor had his hands full with three suspicious fires and no leads. Complicating matters were his unresolved feelings for former colleague Meghan Wright—the one woman he'd never got out of his system. She'd become the target of a stalker, whose proximity to Gideon's assignment was no coincidence.
But as Gideon and Meghan joined forces to uncover the secrets scorched to cinders, it was clear a five-alarm inferno was about to ignite between them. Could they reveal who was responsible for what appeared to be an elaborate plan before the sizzling embers of their relationship were permanently extinguished...?
Firefighter Meghan isn’t the typical chick in a man’s job that some authors think readers want to see in their books. She experiences realistic struggles in regards to her job. She’s not seen flinging around a ladder or managing the hose by herself like its nothing. Still she really loves what she does and still retains her feminine side.
Scarred by past events, Gideon could very well be the “to hell with life, I just want to have fun” type of guy, but he’s not. He actually wants a wife, kids, and the white picket fence. Unfortunately, the woman of his dreams walked out on him two years ago.
Now with a stalker arsonist after her, Meghan must rely on the man she abandoned to help find the person(s) responsible before she ends up one of the victims.
A great mix of romance and suspense, “Kansas City’s Bravest” is a welcomed addition to the series. With a niece currently in the fire academy, I enjoyed re-reading book 5. I’ll probably share it with her and get her opinion as a female firefighter. Of course that won’t be until she’s out of the academy. I get tired listening to all they go through and I don’t have to do it. I can only imagine how exhausted they all must be.

An easy read with plenty of action of tugs on heartstrings to get you to the last page with a full heart.

Meghan Wright just wants to fight fires, put her past in the past and try to move on with her life. She spends the time she isn't on duty at the fire station with the one person that gave her shelter after her tragic teen years were almost up. At that place she had four boys that she calls her own Alex, Eddie, Matthew and Mark.
Meghan's world has been turned upside down in the past too many times and what she needs most is somebody to love her just the way she is and help her open up that big heart even more. Enter her Ex one of Kansas city's finest and her ex-partner at the fire station. He's the man that showed her how to love how to trust and what a real man is like. Not the version her Uncle Pete showed her.
Somebody's bringing these two back together by setting Arson fires which is Gideon Taylor's job after almost dying two years earlier. The stakes are high, the fires are hot both at the scenes and in the bedroom for these two.
Meghan just has to open up about her past and why she really left Gideon those two years right after his proposal. If she can do that can they have a second chance? Or are they doomed to never move on or even get out of these buildings alive?
The ending is one the best parts and the shocking twist to boot. Julie Miller is a great author. I can't wait to read more her books.

Really quite charming. A great opener that sucked you in. Even though it was a little predictable there were some twists and turns that were a little surprising. I loved it and wept a little bit at the end!
