All men. Famous last words, right? You’re expecting some epic tale of reluctant love and my dramatic change of heart? Well, you’re not going to get it. I’m stubborn. And headstrong. And I’ve just survived the worst three years of my life. After escaping an abusive boyfriend to live in hostels and cheap hotels while I worked my way across Europe, I’ve come to two conclusions. The first? Now that I’m back home, I’m going to squander my expensive culinary degree on a food truck that caters to the late night drunk crowd. The second? I’m going to prove to the bastard across the plaza that my street food is better than his fussy five course monstrosities.Killian Quinn might be Food and Wine’s Chef to Watch Out For. He might have a Michelin Star. He might have every food critic in the city wrapped around his too-large fingers. But he’s also pretentious and unbearably arrogant and the very opposite of me. So he can keep his unsolicited advice and his late night visits and his cocky smiles. I want none of it. Or him. I want the opposite.

    But when her feet put her on a mountain path on Palomar Mountain in Cleveland National Forest, an hour from her San Diego home, she finds her new path leading her directly into an out-of-control wildfire. Tanner Davis isn't looking for a relationship. He's actually trying to avoid falling into any and he's been successful so far. Ever since his SEAL team suffered high casualties during an antiterrorist mission, they've been reclassified as a reservist team and Tanner with four of his buddies is now running SEArch & Rescue out of San Diego. When an old acquaintance from the military calls trapped in the wildfire with the Forest Ranger teams spread too thin to even be aware there are hikers in the area, Tanner finds himself searching for the lost hiker and her Labrador in the midst of the fire. When Taylor and Tanner come together the flames begin in earnest. But will two loners, both recently hurt and both leery of relationships, find a future together? Or will the fire burn out in record time? This is for mature audiences 18+.

    

    I can't do this. That's what my ex said after our son was born, leaving me a single dad. These days, my world consists of two things: Noah and my bar.

    It’ll be fun, they said. “They” haven’t met Sawyer Hendricks, the gorgeous, growly celebrity chef who claims he owns the dream hotel that I just inherited.“They” haven’t been terrorized by a flock of foul-mouthed feral parrots. “They” haven’t run smack up against a cranky gang of geriatric islanders who will stop at nothing to ensure that life on Rocky Shoals never changes.
