Stoke the Flames
BLURB:
After losing a
bet, Cade Fallon ends up in the fire department’s annual, fundraising
calendar—at least it was for a good cause. At first, it was funny having
strange women run up to him and ask for pictures or autographs, but it doesn’t
take long for it to become annoying.
Jenna Anderson
is shocked to learn her student’s uncle is “Mr. October” from the calendar her
friend bought her, but she's more concerned about young Christopher’s falling
grades. The last thing she expected was Cade’s interest in her—especially when
he’s got women falling all over him. Refusing to be another notch on his belt,
she fights her growing attraction to him.
When Cade
realizes Jenna is the woman his heart has been searching for, he knows he’ll
have to work to convince her. Stoking the flames between them shouldn’t be too
hard—after all, he is a fireman.
EXCERPT:
A short while
later, as Jenna was teaching her students about the pilgrims and Plymouth Rock,
the fire alarm resounded throughout the school. Knowing it wasn’t a drill—she
would have been notified prior to the alarm—she calmly had her class line up at
the door before instructing them to walk out to their designated meeting area.
They’d practiced fire drills every other week to ensure the students knew what
was expected of them and where to go. Unfortunately, in this day and age, they
also practiced active-shooter drills too, although they called them “code red”
alerts as to not frighten the children.
After making
sure no one was left in the room, Jenna closed the door behind her, before
following her students, who were walking single file, out to the playground.
She did a headcount as they stopped at their assigned spot. All were present
and accounted for.
Spotting
Caroline and her charges, Jenna eased her way through the crowd of children,
while still keeping an eye on her own students. “What’s going on? Who pulled
the alarm?”
“I don’t
know,” Caroline replied, shaking her head. “My kids were in the middle of a
science quiz.” She turned to her students and reminded them not to talk about
the questions on the test.
Jenna’s next
thought was interrupted by the sounds of sirens as several fire trucks and a
police car drove up to the school with their emergency lights blazing to the
delight of the students. They all watched in awe as several firemen climbed off
the trucks, grabbed pieces of equipment, and entered the building. The school
principal, Jeff Carpenter, was at the front of the school talking with the fire
chief. It appeared to be a false alarm, but would take several minutes before
they confirmed it.
Suddenly aware
a few of her students were horsing around, Jenna interrupted the impending
chaos and calmed them down. Five minutes later, the firemen filed out of the
school and apparently gave the all clear signal to the principal, who then
waved for the teachers and students to return to their classrooms. As Jenna
began to line her students back up, Chris pointed to the group of firemen who
had taken off their helmets and turnout coats. “There’s my Uncle Cade!”
