Cowboy Luke Rhonda Lee Carver

Two stubborn firefighters are faced with an uncontainable blaze inside their hearts. Can they withstand the heat?What's a woman to do to get over a lying, cheating ex-husband? She finds a cowboy-firefighter like Luke "Mug" Foster to salve her open wounds. He's exactly what the "heart" doctor ordered. He was tall, dark, handsome, and eager to stoke her fire. But what happens when Jady Pierce starts to have feelings for him? She runs before she loses herself to another heartbreak. People couldn't be trusted, and she'd learned that lesson through a long list of men who'd done her dirty. Jady was back in Cooper's Hawk. Last year, she'd swept in, turned Mug inside out, then disappeared without a word. Story of his life. He wouldn't lose himself in her again, yet there was something about her that challenged and excited him. To get to the "real" Jady, he'd have to chisel through some tough layers. She was carrying around a lot of pain...and not just from a cheating ex and a bum childhood. So what made her tick? What made her hurt?She'd be sticking around town for a while when she accepted the Sheriff duties, but how would she keep her feelings for Mug in check? He had a hold over her and she could feel her walls crumbling. An abandoned baby, an unveiling of secrets from the past, and Mug will have Jady slowly gaining trust as she finds peace, emotion and joy in the small town that she'd once hated. However, she isn't the only one with a few demons to exterminate.
