Publisher Description
Charlotte Tilson knows all about running away—she’s been doing it most of her life.
Running from the memories and pain of the fire that took everything.
Now she’s running from her wedding, or she’s hanging from the lattice work outside her father’s church with the stupid gown up over her head, to be more precise.
All of Holder County is going to see everything and then some if she can’t find a way out.
When Lt. Jamie Holder, Holder County’s most eligible firefighting cowboy, sees his best friend tied up in a bundle of lace and dangling from the side of the church, he knows this is his chance to fan the embers of their friendship into a blaze of passion hotter than any prairie wildfire.
He’s all about exit strategies. He’s been the Clyde to her Bonnie for most of their lives. If anyone’s going to help her make her greatest escape yet, it’s going to be him.
Because she was always supposed to be his.
He just has to convince her that adding a few provocative benefits to their friendship won’t ruin anything.
But when Charlotte runs right into the arms of her own personal firefighter, it’s impossible to escape the heat.
She’s spent her whole life running from the blazes he dives headfirst into.
This time, their legendary escape rubs the town the wrong way.
Will their white-hot love survive when someone else is holding the match?
Customer Reviews
Five alarm fire
WOW! That was hotter than a five alarm fire. Jamie Holder is dirty talking cowboy yumminess. Since the day he met Charlie at 12 years old he has always been her protector and hero. He is swoon worthy. I’m so empathetic towards Charlie and her bravery in working on her fear of lose. I adore Jamie and Charlie individually and together. The supporting characters were all interesting. I love the Holders and it was a pleasant surprise to have cameos from my beloved Camdens. I hope that Becca gets her own story. If this is your first Jillian Neal book don’t stop here go read all you can afford to read. Jillian you are the best. Until next time y’all happy reading.
