Book Title

Embrace the storm. It might just wash away the ashes of your past.


Molly Teague, a beautiful young paralegal looking for a fresh start, is the newest resident of Evansville, CT. Looking for a less exciting life than the one she left behind in Stamford, she never expected to find an attraction to her next-door neighbor. Fire chief Derrick Clarke, however, is far from interested in a summer fling. Though fearless in throwing on his bunker gear and endangering his life to save others, Derrick seems terrified to open himself up to his attractive new neighbor, and Molly’s refusal to give up only provokes his determination to be left alone. Yet, small towns make finding privacy a challenge and have a way of revealing their citizens' hidden mysteries. Can Molly piece together the secrets of Derrick's past before her own secrets spark even greater obstacles to overcome?
