Out Of The Ashes
He’ll walk through fire for his girl—but protecting her may be the very thing that costs him her heart.
VIOLET
I fought too hard for this life to let anyone take it from me.
I escaped the man who tried to break me, rebuilt from the ground up, and learned how to depend on myself. When an assault during a robbery at my second job leaves me injured and one attacker still at large, Jack “Sully” Sullivan is suddenly everywhere I turn.
The firefighter means well. He’s appointed himself my protector, hovering close enough to drive me crazy. But Sully also makes me feel safer than I have in years. He makes me laugh when I’d rather be cranky. And every time I catch myself wanting to lean on him, I remember exactly what it cost me the last time I let a man have too much say in my life.
SULLY
Somewhere between Violet’s grumpy glare, sharp tongue, and the smile she tries not to give me, she became my girl.
Maybe Violet doesn’t know it yet. But I do.
I spend my life running toward danger. And with a threat still hanging over Violet, every instinct I have says protect her first and argue about it later.
So I do.
But I cross a line I can’t uncross.
Now the woman I’d do anything to keep safe isn’t sure she can trust me—and the future I can already see with her may disappear before I ever get the chance to live it.
Violet has already fought her way out of the ashes once, and I know I’ll be beside her when danger finds her again.
I just don’t know if she’ll still want me there when it’s over.
Out of the Ashes, book 3 in the Hearts on Fire series, is a sweet, emotional, friends-to-lovers, small-town contemporary firefighter romance featuring a fiercely protective hero, reverse grumpy-sunshine chemistry, forced proximity, a strong survivor heroine, and a touch of suspense.
