[Innocent Series 03] • From the Flames

“Darcy,” I heard myself say, and it didn’t sound like my own voice—it sounded haunted. I had to rip myself back to reality, and fast, because this was also a girl that had lived through so much there was no way in hell she wanted what I wanted right now—she didn’t want me filling her up, opening her, giving her myself while I took her completely. That was not where Darcy was, no matter that the kiss we’d just shared… I looked down at her and said her name again, and it sounded just like a prayer. “Darcy.”

Michael Valentine is a smart-ass, and everyone who's ever met him would tell you so. The fact that he's also one of the bravest fire-men in his Unit might not be first thing they say, but it's another well-known fact. So when Mike rushes headfirst into the blazing old Victorian on the bad side of town, no one is surprised, especially his father, the Chief... Until it looks like Mike has also rushed headfirst into love.

Darcy is on the run from her ex, and desperate for a place to stay. She can't be afford to be picky, but it almost costs her her life when her house goes up in flames. Struggling with the circumstances that put her there, she doesn't have room for any new men in her heart... Until Mike lights up her life with his impossibly charming smile and wicked green eyes.

Ridiculous instalove, extreme situations, and golden hearted alphas with libidos of titanium: that's the KD way. Please enjoy this story about two people who need each other to figure out who they really are. Heat is off the charts, and so is the HEA.
