About this eBook

A deadly fire and a dangerous attraction.

Cat Lawson loves only two things. Her freedom and her motorcycle. The twelve months she’s spent at Stargazer Ranch is the longest she’s ever stayed in one place, but when Cat hears screams, she ignores the danger and dashes into a burning building.

Levi Wilson has just moved to the valley, taking up a job as the new park ranger. Seeing smoke coming from a nearby ranch, he arrives to find a log cabin fully alight. But after he risks his own life to dive in and save her, Cat denies she needed rescuing. He decides he’s never met a more stubborn, infuriating woman. She decides he’s a control-freak with a hero complex.

They discover an arsonist is lighting fires on the ranch, but when Levi becomes the next target of the firebug, will Cat be able to save him from the inferno?

Ratings and reviews

This novella is good introduction into Ms. Cass's new Stargazer Ranch series. Cat is the mechanic at Stargazer ranch and when she comes across one of the guest cabins going up in flames with the residents screaming that their dog is still inside, she doesn't hesitate to run in and try to rescue it. Who knew that one of the first things that Levi would do on his new job as a park ranger would be rescuing a spit fire and a dog from a burning cabin. It is soon learned that the fire was deliberately set and that the owner of the Stargazer Ranch is being threatened by email. Although Cat and Levi make some sparks of their own, will it be enough for Cat to finally stay in one place and grow roots? I look forward to learning more about Stargazer and the mystery fires in the next book, Wildfire. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

perfection lovely story

short story but very good
