2019 has been a year filled
with many blessings and many challenges. I'm grateful to my husband, friends,
and family for all the love and support. I published two books and co-led a
yoga retreat to Tuscany––it took years of hard work to manifest these dreams
and I couldn't have done it without love. Every day I count my blessings.
BLURB:
A perfectionistic
equine vet. A gorgeous fireman. An unrequited high school crush blazes hot
twelve years later.
Reliable Amanda
McNeill’s world toppled last summer when Hollywood invaded her family’s horse
breeding ranch. Everyone’s moving onward and upward, but she’s in a massive
rut. Weary of her label as the dependable older sister, she yearns to throw
predictability to the wind and embrace spontaneity. She can be impulsive,
even wild, and a hot fling with Jake Cruz might be the sizzle she needs to
jumpstart her life.
When firefighter
Jake Cruz rescues a dog from a hit-and-run, the nearest vet is none other than
his high school tutor, Amanda McNeill. Face to face with his former crush, he
finds her to be even more beautiful than he remembers, and her charming blushes
and heated glances tell him she notices him this time around. While Jake longs to discover if this Amanda
matches the girl who starred in his adolescent fantasies, his desire to become
fire captain, and earn his family's pride, requires he focus on work, not
passion.
Could his dream
woman become his real love or will his professional ambitions extinguish their
chances? Once the smoke clears, will Amanda realize Jake isn’t a fling but her
hero after all?
