Burst Into Flame (Burning Lovesick, Book 2)
By Lyssa Layne
Genre: Romance
Cover Artist: Jesk Krita from Taurus Designs
“In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It
is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should
all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.”
-Albert Schweitzer
For Dr.
Katy Garrity, life is a whirlwind, and the New York Fire Department is the
heart of the storm. After claiming so many people she loved, including her own
husband, Katy is left adrift, trying to keep up with a busy career, a baby son,
and her loving extended family. Her only anchor is Jesse O'Neil, her late
husband's best friend. The charming former playboy has put his entire life on
hold to care for Katy and her son. It's inevitable that sparks will flare
between them, but all of life seems to be conspiring to keep them apart. Especially
Katy's own heart, which shies away from trusting another firefighter. Will the
flames of passion burst into a lifetime of love? Or will secrets burn away
their connection, causing Dr. Garrity to be burned again?
Jesse crumbled
the cup in his hand and tossed it on the ground. When he turned around, Patrick
Doyle ran into him. Shoving Doyle against the fire truck, Jesse fisted his
shirt and moved his face within inches of the other man’s. “Watch where you’re
going, asshole.”
Immediately,
Lieutenant Dan Murphy, or Murph as the guys called him, pulled Jesse off the
younger fireman. “Come on, O’Neil, let him go.”
Doyle avoided
making eye contact with Jesse just like he always did since the accident. The
accident that Doyle caused that killed his best friend, Nick Garrity. It had
been over a year ago, but Jesse hadn’t let it go and he wasn’t sure he ever
would. The whole situation pissed him off—losing his best friend, watching
Katy’s heartbreak, and knowing her son was being raised without a father. Jesse
shoved Doyle one more time then walked away before he did something he would
regret.
Murph followed
him and patted his back. “Jesse, you’re going to have to let it go.”
Jesse spun
around to face Murph, his eyebrows furrowed and anger seethed in his eyes. “Let
it go? He’s responsible for killing the best firefighter Engine 58’s ever seen!
We should have let him quit when he asked.”
Murph shook
his head. “You don’t mean that. Garrity put his life on the line for that kid.
If he quit then, Nick he would have done it for no reason. It’s our job now to
make him one of the best we have on our crew.” Murph clamped his hand on
Jesse’s shoulder and squeezed tightly. “Jesse, you need to do this for Nick.”
