After a brutal relationship which nearly killed her, Gillian Hillard has withdrawn from everything, including sex. Burying herself into her work, she avoids life and its entanglements out of fear and lack of confidence. When she meets Firefighter Jack Payle at her mother's wedding the sparks fly and she gets a taste of how exciting it is to stand so close to the flames.
Gillian’s different than any woman Jack’s been with, calm, plain, but beneath the staid clothing and glasses he senses a woman with fire, one who can light his world. He sets out to get her – to claim the woman behind the mask but can his love save her from the darkness?
Fighting fire with fire has never felt so good for them. Passion flares into a five alarm fire threatening to overwhelm them both in its heat.

Hot, and cool
Thanks. I'm having a blast with the story - Gillian may seem like a mouse but inside she's a tigress.
We need to get -OFF- this world, girl, NOT further inside where it's clammy and stanky --- Actually, because I saw Heaven, Heaven’s a super-sonic, killer-proposal-relationship IF we pass the test of this finite existence, IF we exceed-the-rules and become the Great Beyond: while faith is certainly justified, the reward of faith is to believe what you don’t see beyond the furthest star. We’ll have a tonOfun for the length and breadth of eternity, lovely girly, where we’ll have a cumulative, effusive euphoria; a BIG-ol, kick-ass, rock-solid, party-hardy for many eons celebrating our resurrection, nekk’n and luuuv’n, drink’n and dancing, full-throttle, mind-blowin, bawl-bustin, virtual reality, baby; on earth, grrr, we have whorizontal taxes - the death of U.S. Upstairs, however, we can fly: like a true, major’s child, we were born 2B wild [literally! Pop was USAF!! I’m so funny, I’m all over it like white-on-rice] God bless you. Love you, doll. See ya soon, miss gorgeous babe --- And, yes, you may take anything OFF our blogs you desires if I can kiss your adorable feets Upstairs in Heaven Above. Deal? Good deal.
