THE ICING ON THE CAKE
Another great addition to the Jackson Hole Firefighter Romance series. While this is a series, each book will read well as a stand-alone and may have cameo appearances by other characters in previous stories. The story is a sweet, clean contemporary romance that will bring two people together by a mutual friend. While Tammy Teague knows they are ‘perfect’ for each other, neither Ian Douglas or Alicia Teague want to be a part of a blind date scenario.
The story will have Tammy Teague, owner of Sweet Caroline’s Bakery telling customer and friend, Ian Douglas, that she has the perfect woman for him. But Ian isn’t a fan of blind dates. When the call comes in that there is a fire at the bakery, it is near the station and brings a quick response—but also the shock of seeing Tammy inside trying to fight the flames.
Meanwhile, back in Chicago, Alicia is running a test on soil samples and not happy with what she is seeing and needs to report to her boss, Mr. Calvin Ross. When he plans on covering it up, she can’t accept that and quits—and then heads to help her sister, Tammy, who just had a fire at her bakery. Flying to Jackson Hole to help, she intends to convince Tammy to forego the bakery and move back to Chicago. What she didn’t expect was to meet Ian Douglas—and the wonderful townspeople of Jackson Hole.
The meeting of Ian and Alicia comes with mixed emotions, some interesting sparks, a touch of angst, and a few fireworks in the form of disagreements. Neither Ian nor Alicia are ones to go on blind dates—and the set up from Tammy comes with its own set of sparks. Can Tammy help both of them see past their preconceived notions to give each other a chance?
“Listen, Alicia—would you rather have a relationship, or would you rather be right?”
Ian talks to his mother about Tammy, trying to set him up with her sister, Alicia. She is in favor of the idea, wanting to see Ian find happiness—and if that means marriage and grandchildren, that makes her even happier.
“Well, I think you’re giving up too easily. If there are sparks, there’s a fire, isn’t there? You should know that better than anyone.” She laughed at her own joke.”
“Yeah, but there’s the kind of fire that keeps you warm and the kind of fire that burns you.”
The story will have Alicia realizing that maybe it is time to accept that Tammy has made the best decision for herself, moving from Chicago and to Jackson Hole. Unlike a major city, the people in town are supportive, helpful, and friendly. Tammy has more support than money can buy. With Alicia between jobs, in a beautiful area, and meeting a man that gives her hopes and dreams, could she move to Jackson Hole too?
The story will have a touch of nostalgia, a bit of angst, and a sweet romance, with a touch of danger. When Alicia returns to Chicago to pack her belongings, will having an influential job offer make her want to stay after all? What will happen between Ian and Alicia and the future?
