Up in Flames (Island Fire #6)

Firefighting encompasses everything for Penn Griffin-his job, his family, and his friends. When a hurricane roars toward San Amaro Island, Penn is called on a rescue and ends up face-to-face with Nadia, the gorgeous but frustrating woman he went on one interrupted date with. He cut ties with her months earlier after experiencing firsthand how all-consuming her career is. Now, in one fell swoop, she's altered his life irrevocably.

Nadia Hamlin eats, sleeps, and breathes her job as a vice-president at her family's beachside hotel. It's the only thing she's ever known, and her past and her future are tied up in the business. As the storm approaches the island, she thinks nothing of making a last-minute stop at the hotel on the way out of town-until it's too late. Now, a man is injured, a man she cares about, a man who already hates her. Thanks to her careless decision, his beloved career is over.

Nadia wants nothing more than to make it up to him. Penn wants nothing to do with her or her well-meaning attempts to "help." But the attraction that once sparked between them isn't easily extinguished, and Nadia soon knows she wants more than her career-she wants a second chance with Penn. Can he find a way past his anger and self-loathing toward forgiveness and love and a future with Nadia?

Up in Flames is a stand-alone novel in the Island Fire series.
