All Fired Up Susan Behon

Welcome to Madison Falls, where love is in the air, and gossip is ripe on the vine. Fire Chief Alex Ross is used to finding himself in dangerous situations. Rescuing a cat stuck up a tree isn't one of them. He's less than thrilled, especially when he finds out that the feline in question was used as a ruse by an amorous old lady on the make...again. Alex needs a rescue and fate brings him Julie Hanlin, a former damsel in distress he saved the summer before. With a little persuading, Julie plays hero and untangles him from a sticky situation. The town is abuzz when they catch Alex and Julie on an impromptu date. He thinks it's the local grapevine doing its thing until he notices the ladies are checking him out a little too closely and whispering a touch more than usual. Julie is caught in her own predicament. Alex thinks her attraction is merely a case of hero worship. Little does he know that he's the center of a secret she thought would never come to light. Kiss by kiss, Alex wants her more than ever. Julie finally has his attention, but the whole town is watching and once he realizes why, a desire that finally catches flame may go up in smoke.
