Up In Flames
by Reina Torres

Kaleo just relocated to Center City from Hawaii, looking for a change in both climate and job opportunities. Okay, so he loved his family, but they were really pushing him to do more in life, and he felt like he was happy. Being a firefighter was everything he'd ever wanted. He wanted to do what he could to save lives, just like his father before him and his grandfather before that.
Then there was his family's pressure to have, well, a family. He's not ready for that at all.
Hell, he wasn't ready for anything outside of his job.
Until he met a woman within an hour of arriving in Center City.
Lexie was going after her own dreams. Within reach of her goal of becoming a nurse, she's taking classes and burying herself in work. She barely has time to listen to music or go dancing. Fun will come later when she's got the job she's been dreaming of her whole life.
She's hustling along in her life when a cell phone falls at her feet, broken and cracked. She takes its owner to a shop to get it repaired. He's new in town and he's going to need that phone to get around. How did she know that a good deed would end up getting her a date.
She wasn't planning to find someone like Kaleo or anyone at all, but he's the breath of air that makes every day seem so much better.
Lexie finds herself swept up by the handsome firefighter, but life in a big city isn't easy and danger seems to come from all around them. Will they find it worth it to cling to each other and their deepening emotions?
Or will this relationship go Up in Flames?

If there's someone in pain or in need in Center City, these courageous men and women are there to help. Fire, Police, Medical and Dispatch: they'll be there.
Discover the interwoven lives of first responders in Center City. When there's trouble, the brave and devoted members of Center City's Fire, Medical, & Law Enforcement entities band together to make their home a better place, falling in love along the way.

Reina Torres' Bio

Love -- Romance -- Books Aren't they all the same thing? Oh, I sure hope so! I've been reading romance books for what seems like forever. When I was a teen, the days that I wasn't in dance class after school I'd go to the mall to wait for my mom to finish work for the day and my haunt of choice... Waldenbooks. (I think I just showed my age there.) Whether it was Scottish Lairds, Medieval Knights, Regency Gents, Rough and Tumble Cowboys, or handsome modern Heroes, I loved them all! There was always another hero and heroine to follow through page after page of breathless love! I really hope that my readers will enjoy some of the same thrills as discover characters to love between the pages of my books.
