Ignited blurb Ignited is a collection of three stand-alone novels in the Island Fire series, including Firestorm, Afterburn, and Up in Flames.
FIRESTORM
She has a lot to prove. He has everything to lose.
Firefighting has been Captain Joe Mendozaās passion since the days his firefighter dad let him climb on the trucks. When the chance for a promotion arises, heāll do whatever he can to secure it. Accepting the chiefās request to take the newest hire, Chief Peligniās daughter, under his wing is a given. What Joe doesnāt anticipate, though, is the way Faith storms into his life and becomes a monumental temptation.
Faith Peligni may be the first female in the department, but sheās not interested in making waves. Sheās determined to fit in as just another firefighter. However, being a woman and the chiefās daughter, she has to work twice as hard to gain half the respect. She burns for that respect, and sheāll take help from no oneāleast of all the sexy, dark-eyed captain who sends a spark through her with just a look.
As their attraction billows to inferno levels, theyāre both faced with high-stakes decisions. Can they find a way to have a workplace romance without their careers going up in flames?
AFTERBURN
Heās a jaded paramedic hell-bent on leaving.
Scott Pataki became an EMT to save lives, but ten years later, the stress of his job is killing him. Heās counting down to his escape from San Amaro Island to work on a cruise ship. Estranged from his family, thereās nothing holding him back. But when his big move is only a month away, the half sister he never wanted to meet, and her bulldog advocate, Mercedes, crash into his life.
Mercedes Stone is a sucker for underdogs and lost souls. Though sheās drowning in responsibilities as a caretaker, a business owner, and a volunteer, she canāt ignore a homeless teenagerās plight. Sheāll do anything to help her, including lock horns with Scott, the troubled but tempting half brother the girlās determined to bond with. It doesnāt take Mercedes long to see heās not the heartless jerk he wants everyone to believe he is.
Scott feels his hardened heart softening, but he fights it, knowing heās the dark cloud to Mercedesā bright sunshine. Will he chase the peace he craves or figure out the best way to weather any storm is together?
UP IN FLAMES

Now, in one fell swoop, sheās altered his life irrevocably.
Nadia Hamlin eats, sleeps, and breathes her career at her familyās beachside hotel. As the storm approaches, she thinks nothing of making a last-minute stop at the hotel on the way out of townāuntil itās too late. Thanks to her careless decision, Pennās beloved career is over.
