Sweet Burn

It’s supposed to be a quick wedding hook-up. She’s lonely. He’s available. After seeing Rio Donovan and Gia Jackson down the aisle, the sizzling sexual chemistry between Mimi Hart and Mack Johnson has this pair burning up the sheets in a night of no-holds fantasies. One night. No regrets. And no promises.

As Strong’s resident bad girl and bartender, Mimi has earned every inch of her reputation. Tattoos, motorcycles and dancing on the bar—Mimi’s all in. She’s fun and she’s tough, a hot sex-on-the-pool-table woman—not a sunset-and-kisses sweetheart. Until her wedding hook-up, Mack Johnson, turns into a man on a sensual mission…and threatens to send her heart into freefall even as her own past threatens to catch up with her.

Mack didn’t choose Strong—Strong chose him. Fresh from the warzones of the Middle East and battling PTSD demons, this Spec Ops soldier is most at home on the battlefield. Still, when Jack Donovan calls in a favor, he heads to Strong, California for fire season. Guns. Firefights. And chutes. These things make sense. One summer and then he heads back to the frontlines where he belongs. He never counted on falling in love with Strong—or with Mimi. She’s exactly what the doctor ordered. Now he wants all of Mimi—the sweet and the sour, the tough and the loving. And he’s ready to convince her one night—and one fire—at a time…
