Meet Kay Lyons:
Kay Lyons always wanted to be a writer, ever since the age of seven or eight when she copied the pictures out of a Charlie Brown book and rewrote the story because she didn’t like the plot. Through the years her stories have changed but one characteristic stayed true— they were all romances. Each and every one of her manuscripts included a love story.

Published in 2005 with Harlequin Enterprises, Kay’s first release was a national bestseller. Kay has also been a HOLT Medallion, Book Buyers Best and RITA Award nominee. Look for her most recent novels from Kindred Spirits Publishing at online retailers or ask for them wherever books are sold.

Sometimes all it takes is one spark, one touch, one brave leap—to turn a slow burn summer into forever…
Bronwyn
All I needed was a fresh start.
A quiet, peaceful place to open my dream bookstore. Space to just…breathe.
Carolina Cove was perfect for that.
Falling (literally) into the fire chief’s arms? Not part of my plan. Because the truth is, I don’t know if I’m even capable of love anymore.
Or if I deserve it…
Gabriel
Love, for me, has always meant heartbreak and loss. So, duty became my refuge, the firehouse my home.
Until her.
Bronwyn shined a light into all the dark corners of my life, making me want things I swore I’d never have again.
Hope.
Forever.
Her.
But I built the walls around my heart for a reason. Letting her break them down is a risk I’m just not sure I can afford to take…

Bronwyn has come to Carolina Cove as a way to rebuild her life after the passing of her husband. She is making friends, has her bookstore but she definitely isn’t looking for love now and maybe not even in the future.
Wolfe is the Fire Chief who experiences when it comes to love have left him believing that he is meant to be single. When he meets Bronwyn he is drawn to her and a friendship develops but when friends no longer seem to be enough will they be willing to open their hearts to more?
I did enjoy the slow burn of this story as both Brownyn and Wolfe have some turmoil in their pasts that they must overcome so that they can give each other what they need. The secondary characters add some humor to the story and are always there to support this heartwarming couple as they find their way to each other.
