Torch: A Second Chance Romance by Roxie Noir

Clementine McKinnon stopped thinking about her high school sweetheart years ago. Why wouldn’t she? It ended badly, and now that she’s a forest ranger in a small Montana town, it’s not like she’s ever going to see him again. Until she does. His firefighting crew turns up at a town potluck, and when their eyes meet over the dinner rolls, the last eight years evaporate. Hunter Casden thinks about his first love all the time. His post-marines career as a wildlands firefighter keeps him busy, and he’s hardly ever lonely, but he’s never quite managed to get over Clementine. And now he’s not only in her town, but staying next door? There’s no chance. Torch is a high-heat standalone romance. It's for fans of firefighters, small towns, great banter, and anyone who loves a second chance. The hero is a former military fireman who's never forgotten his first love -- who happens to be a forest ranger in the town where he's sent to fight a wildfire. It's steamy as heck, has a dog named Trout (the dog doesn't die), and of course there's an HEA.
