August Fire (Unabridged‪)‬

Sparks fly: The day that Stephanie and Doyle meet, circumstances fight against romance. She thinks him rude, crude, and bossy, and while he loves her long legs, he thinks she seems snobbish and cold. However, he feels she has interesting possibilities, and she thinks he is a sexy hunk. How important are first impressions?

Danger unites: Rescuing trapped livestock and pets brings them face to face with the arsonist who set the rangeland fire. Surviving the fire together ignites the passions each has been ignoring. Something about near death experiences and passion.... The rugged high desert and mountains of Colorado set the scene for adventure, danger, and fiery passions. Can they stay ahead of the arsonist and develop a solid relationship in the bright light of day?

Trust: Growing trust in the face of adversity, just how strong is this new relationship. Can each of them get beyond past betrayals and pain? Will the final chapter be a wedding, or a fond farewell? Riverview is home to Stephanie and now to Doyle. The small Colorado town and its citizens reflect small ranch towns across the United States and the values and closeness of the residents who support each other when times are tough.
