About this ebook

Where there’s smoke . . .

Spark
Growing up as the privileged daughter of two doctors, Jasmine Kingford always thought the housekeeper’s son was hot—and the feeling was mutual. But back then there were lines they couldn’t cross. Good thing they’re all grown up now—and in the same wedding party . . .

Blaze
As best man for a fellow firefighter, Leo Trask is floored to discover the maid-of-honor is a blast from his past. One that ignites fireworks that have been brewing for years. Soon enough, he and Jasmine are having a very private, all-night-long celebration of their own—and it’s clear neither wants it to end there . . .

Wildfire

And he’s everything she never knew she wanted, and more . . .

Ratings and reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's a second chance story - sorta! Jasmine's the daughter of very affluent parents. Leo is the son of the housekeeper. As teenagers they were attracted to each other but certain lines just couldn't be crossed. Reunited years later they are free to explore what could have been. I thought this book was very well done with an intriguing storyline, well developed and interesting characters and a nice easy pace to the story. This is definitely a book I'd recommend.
