Burning Love (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 1236)

Not that I have much use for career minded women who stubbornly refuse to realize a family is a career. But ------- Terra August is a fire investigator and a good one. And she has a hard time coming to grips with the death of her mentor and friend, Harris Vaughn. Yet she was the last person to see him alive. Jack Spencer is the homicide investigator assigned to this case. He had lost his wife three years ago and now his work is his life. He will never become involved with any woman that lives on the edge of danger. An ex-wife turns up and does she hate Terra. She holds Terra responsible for the break-up of her marriage. Another suspect is Dane Reynolds, the newsman that always shows up at the fires with his cameraman, T.J. Coontz. Dane is always trying to put the move on Terra. Then there is the firefighter, LaBass who has lost out in applying for the investigator's job because of Harris. Truly exciting - and lots of denial with hot hormones -- a slowly building of trust between Terra and Jack. They both are working at overcoming personal tragidies. Thoroughly enjoyed the characters working out their problems but they couldn't pass up on the PMS as usual. It is so commonplace it is just a tad boring. Will probably become a keeper for most.
