She ruined me once. Walked out without a word, leaving me with nothing but a scarred heart and a whole lot of rage.

Now Tessa Morgan is back in Silver Ridge, shoved right into my world like fate’s got a twisted sense of humor.

I tell myself to stay away. To keep it professional, keep it cold. But one look at her—those storm-gray eyes daring me to remember, that cascade of dark hair I used to wrap around my fists, those curves that make my pulse hammer—and I’m toast.

Every shift with her is torture. The scent of her skin, the sway of her body, the way her mouth tilts when she’s about to argue—it all drags me back to nights I swore I’d forget.

She’s fire, pure and dangerous. And I know if I touch her again, I won’t stop.
The question is… will she

 -----My Review Notes--- The Pressures Increase

Tessa Morgan is coming back to Silver Ridge. The county hired her as the new wildfire education coordinator; a job tailor made for her because of her environmental science degree.  Her  grandmother's best friend is Bernice Hanley who is sitting with her for the station's first meeting.  Her grandmother Leah had passed away and Bernice had now "adopted" her after she passed. Bernice is warm and supportive and also owns Hanley's Cafe & Gifts.   Tessa's sister Claire, stays in contact with her. Tessa has a secret about why she left without warning..does Claire know the secret?  

Ethan Cole hears his Chief Jake Torres welcomes her afterwards. Is he interested in her? Ethan is a good man who is still mad at her but still shows up when she needs him ! Let's face it, he still loves her after ten years. They had been high school lovers and he still wanted her ! Yikes, trouble ahead right?  Tessa starts to do some stupid stuff while photographing things for her job.  Like getting too close to fire lines and getting caught in it or just getting WAY too close !!! It made me want to slap her !!! 

His fellow co-worker Sparky Riggins is good at his job but it's also clear to see that he's an well meaning, funny mischief maker. And I enjoyed how everyone had each other's back at the firehouse, even personally !

There is a snake reporter by the  name of Caleb Bryant. who's a trying to dig up dirt to make himself look big and slant the story, for his benefit of course ! Rumor Monger ! He beings to harass both sisters and Bernice.  But boy, oh boy, does he get taken care of !! I  loved that!

Great conclusion and HEA for Tessa and Ethan.  

I bought this book also on Amazon
