Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Kathryn Shay spent five years riding fire trucks with a large city fire department, eating in their firehouses and interviewing hundreds of America's Bravest. Read the firefighter romance novels that resulted from her intense relationship with firefighters!
Former friends turned lovers and a billionaire who changes both their lives with an inheritance…what more could two people want?
In the newest installment of the beloved Hidden Cove Series, Dan Collins is everybody’s favorite firefighter. He’s good at his job, is a nice guy and treats people well. But his life fell apart a year ago when his wife left him for a wealthy man. Thank God Dan has had Firefighter Lucy Coretta to lean on, both at work and at home. She’s brought him back from the brink of despair and has been there for him during all those horrible months after the divorce.
Unbeknownst to him, Lucy has been in love with him forever but kept it to herself. Then, when he split with his wife, she didn’t want to be a rebound girlfriend. One night, though, passion explodes between them and by the morning everything has changed. And not just in their relationship. A man comes to the door and hands Dan an inheritance from a wealthy billionaire for saving the lives of his godchildren years ago. It’s money, lots and lots of money.
Unfortunately, the windfall doesn’t bring him happiness. It messes up all his newly made plans with Lucy and throws them both into a tailspin.

Customer Reviews
A great story
I enjoyed this story. Lucy and Dan are so human. Dan was easily manipulated by Claire (his ex-wife) but she wanted the divorce and they had been married for a long time. I didn't care for Claire so much, I mean really split up your family for money. Lucy was the perfect balm to his battered soul. Yes, he was easily manipulated because the ex knew his weak for his children. He would do also anything for his like most parents would.
I highly recommend this story. I was able to read it in one sitting.
Great Romance!
I really enjoyed this story! I'm looking forward to reading more books in this series.
I was given an ARC for an honest review. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.
Love This New Series
A Burning Passion is the first in a serives of short stories by several different authors. I love the concept and I am excited to see what each author has to bring to the series. Kathryn Shay has gotten it off to a great start in this short story about my favorite kind of hero. My heart really went out to this natural born “saver” to those in need. He was married with two kids when his wife decided they didn’t have enough money and she wasn’t happy. She left him for a rich man and she still wasn’t happy…big surprise. When he suddenly finds himself in love with the perfect match for himself, he finds he has inherited a lot of money and a big problem, his ex wants to put the family back together. It sets the stage for lots of conflict, and the biggest problem for a great dad, does he put his family back together or find the way to create a new family with his kids. I found this story well thought out, a wonderful glimpse into the life of a hero/firefighter, included a great female role model and the definition of what a “real man” is. I really enjoyed it but I wish it could have been longer. I wanted more. I always do when Kathryn Shay is the author. I was given a copy of this story in exchange for my honest opinion and there you have it.
