Jessica Lemmon - Hard to Handle

* * *

IT ONLY TAKES A SPARK

Summer Abrams left everything behind—the warehouse fire that took her father’s life, the town where her world fell apart, and her best friend in the world, Joe Walker. All she carried with her was guilt. Now, twelve years later, another fire has devastated the same warehouse, and Summer returns to Ocean Beach to search for answers. But what she finds first is an old flame that never went out…

Joe Walker has become the town fire marshal—sexy, strong, and an expert at keeping people at bay. The only person he ever let into his heart broke it and left town without a word. Now that she’s back, Joe swears he won’t fall for Summer again…but the heat between them is irresistible. As he tries to help her heal the past, can he take a risk on building a future with Summer?
