Lighting His Fire
Dallas Fire & Rescue Kindle Worlds Novella
Brigit MacKay fights fires from the air. Flying her helicopter to save lives and land rules her mind and heart. Itâs all sheâs ever dreamed of doing. But when she spots a body through the smoke haze, her life takes a turn she never expected.
Relationships have left Carter Kohl with a broken heart. Wary of women, he keeps things light. No-strings sex works fine for him. Itâs not like he feels any connection anyway. Not until he meets a sexy helicopter pilot who sparks his interest.
Attraction blazes but Carterâs secrets threaten to destroy the tenuous relationship theyâve built. He wrestles with the fact that Brigit has accomplished what he believed impossibleâlighting his fire. Can he risk his heart and trust her with the truth?
EXCERPT:
Twenty minutes later, Brigit came to a stop in front of Carterâs cabin and shut off the Jeepâs engine. âHere we are.â
He turned toward her. âCome in with me.â
Through the windshield, she eyed the moonlit cabin. A soft glow illuminated the curtains covering the windows from inside.
He trailed a finger down her arm, leaving a line of hot chills racing across her skin. âIâll reheat our meal, or put it in the fridge, or make some coffee.â
âSure.â She opened her door. âCoffee might be good.â
Carter joined her in front of the Jeep. Heat rolled off his tall, muscular frame, enveloping her as he walked with her to the cabin and onto the porch, stopping at the door. Who am I kidding? I donât want coffee. I want him. Just being near him caused her body to reactâher nipples tightened in anticipation of his touch, and her damp panties had rubbed in the most delicious way with each step theyâd taken.
Keys appeared in his hand as if by magic, and he unlocked the door. He pushed it open, allowing her to enter first.
She paused just inside where the foyer opened onto the dining area and kitchen. Beyond that lay a nice-sized living room with a vaulted ceiling. And the hallway at the back probably led to a couple of bedrooms and bathrooms.
He strode past her to the kitchen, tucking their food into the refrigerator, then returned to stand in front of her. He moved closer, his broad chest inches from her breasts. His dark-brown stare sent her heart galloping.
âBrigit.â His deep jagged voice spoke of desire and lust and intent. Matching the way he looked at her. The way his body leaned toward hers. The way everything about him concentrated on her.
She shivered. Caught in his intense gaze, she lifted her chin and licked her lips. His focus dipped, following her nervous action, then shifted to her eyes again. âCarter.â
Reaching up, he tucked her hair behind her ear then grazed his knuckles along her jaw. âIâm going to kiss you.â
Her breath hitched. âOkay.â
