Book 1: Light It Up Being a firefighter in Colfax means you drive around in a big red fire engine, put out a few kitchen fires, wink at hot chicks, and pray to Mother Nature that she doesn’t send a bolt of lightning to start a forest fire. One good fire like that could wipe the town off the map for eternity. So when a house fire comes along, we firefighters take things seriously. Add in a damsel in distress and I will eagerly run into a burning building, especially when the damsel happens to be one Tamsyn Albright. Book 2: Set it Off I don’t know what’s going on in this town. Businesses are burning. There are weird car wrecks all over town, and Delilah Vasquez just came sprinting out of the woods screaming about killer coyotes. Now normally I’d just consider her an irrational female and be done with it. But there is nothing irrational about Delilah. She’s hard as nails and about the most attractive woman in town. So not only do her claims get my attention, but I go check them out. That just seems to stir the pot and send bad luck in my direction. Book 3: Up in Smoke I don’t usually believe in bad luck, but then I’ve never had to deal with the kind of crap that Felicity Palmer has. The girl is like a magnet for trouble. And when an EMT can say he met a girl by responding to her car accident that’s a pretty big deal. Not only does the poor woman have a stalker, she’s also the third man out in one of those weird girl relationships where her best friends are also her worst enemies. Book 4: Into the Flames I’ve managed to get through the last few years since my divorce by living pretty much like a monk. For a guy who used to be considered the womanizer of Colfax, that’s a pretty big switch. Let’s just say I’ve realized that my behavior has a cost. And I was doing fine until Kiana came storming into my office a few months back to complain that we hadn’t caught the arsonist yet. Ever since then she’s like an itch I would love to scratch. Book 5: Burn it Down Anyone who looks at me thinks my life is charmed. I’m a good looking guy with a great job at the fire department. I get to rescue damsels in distress and look like the town hero on a pretty regular basis. But all of that is just the outside. Nobody sees what’s going on in the background. They don’t see that my parents love my older brother to a fault. Nobody realizes that my older brother just might be a sociopath who is trying to destroy my life.
