Synopsis:
HE CAN TAKE THE HEAT.
Hot, hard-bodied Sixten Rapp is a former SEAL who’s raring to begin his brand-new civilian life. He and his Navy “brothers” start a security firm that offers the kind of services only a team of military-trained professionals can provide. But nothing prepared Six for his new client: an innocent woman on a mission to improve thousands of lives. . . unless someone takes hers first.

But nothing prepared Six for his new client: an innocent woman on a mission to improve thousands of lives. . . unless someone takes hers first.
CAN SHE HANDLE THE FLAMES?
Dr. Louisa North knows time is against her as she tries to create a “miracle” medical treatment for a disease with no known cure, until she creates a sample so powerful that the wrong people want to use it as a chemical weapon. At first, Six is unwilling to accept Louisa as his client. But soon he realizes that the danger is real and that there’s much more to this plain-Jane scientist…including a burning passion between them that neither of them can resist. And now that an enemy is on Louisa’s trail, Six will do whatever it takes to protect her―or die trying.

FIRE Excerpt

Six
looked tortured. Common sense was telling her that it was best to just go back
to her room and let him work through it, which totally lined up with her usual
MO of avoiding, well, life. But for once she held her ground. “Okay, first
please quit the martyr act. We are grown-ups who had consensual sex. I’m sure
you’ve done that before, so don’t start getting weird just because it was me.
Second, I’ll look at you any way I damn well please. You didn’t care how I
looked at you when I was riding . . . well . . . you know,” she said, gesturing
toward his shorts. “Third. If the only difference between you tugging at the
corner of this towel to do something . . . urgh
. . . hot, or sexual, or something and you walking out of the bathroom without
kissing me good morning is the fact that I gave your company a check, I’ll
cancel it. I’d rather pay you to help me, but I’m sure I can find somebody else
if it’s the difference between us doing this or not.” Her knees were shaking
and her voice was loud enough that she suddenly realized if any of Six’s team
were still in the house, they’d likely heard her stumbled words. She felt pink
spread to her cheeks.
She
stepped toward the bathroom door, feeling like she was going to pass out before
she made it to her own room. Her heart was pounding, and her head was spinning.
“Lou,”
Six said quietly, his hand looping her wrist. “You like your lists? Fine. I’ll
give you mine. First, I’m not being a martyr. We can’t build a reputation as a
professional firm if I hook up with one of our first clients. Professionally,
you must see how weird that looks, no matter how badly I want to. And what kind
of message does it send to the guys who work for me? And yes. I have had sex
before, lots of it, but what we did was much more than that. So please, for
both our sakes, don’t minimize it. Just because I shouldn’t have done it
doesn’t mean it wasn’t perfect. And for the record, how you looked riding my
cock—and yes, you can say that word because, as you mentioned, we’re both
grown-ups—was burned into my memory. And third, if it was as simple as just
giving into this, you’d have been out of that towel and up on the counter with
my face between your legs before you could cry out my name. It’s just . . .
Shit, Lou. I’m trying to figure out what the right thing to do here is, and my
duty wins out every time.”

About Scarlett Cole
The tattoo across
my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly
talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink).
Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all
aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do
something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a
consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy.
Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada
were I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us
are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier,
but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never
part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.
I’ve wanted to be
a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my
computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions
everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.
