He’s as Hot as the Fires He Fights.
She’s the Flame He Could Never Put Out.
Three years ago, mage helicopter pilot Josh Campbell and firefighter paramedic Edie Lang almost shared a night of passion. Duty interrupted them, giving Josh time for second thoughts. Edie has a dangerous job, and the effects on his family after his mom was killed have convinced him moms are the linchpins of their families. No woman with a dangerous job is right for him.
In Edie’s view, Josh had his chance and blew it. In his eyes, the past is over. When dark magic snares them both, sapping their magic and their life force, they’re thrown together while the mage doctors seek a cure. The old attraction still sizzles, and proximity brings it aflame. But can they forge a way around the issues that divide them? Will they live long enough to find out?

June 9, 2023Josh needs therapy or that happily ever after is going get into trouble. But i do like that he holds his beliefs because of what happened to him, not just outdated upbringing or some other thing. and that he does have other experiences that teach him otherwise. I adore Edie. she is strong and kickass, but still caring. and yet, she realizes that sacrificing a big part of who she is for Josh is the wrong move and she is willing to forgo him for her greater good. but she does so with out malice and rancour. she is really the kind of heroine i love reading about.
