Body Heat by Katherine Garbera and Jim Greenhill

Is It Getting Steamy In Here?

Andi O Rourke is a fire chief and a darned good one -- one of only a handful of women in the U.S. to make it. Raised in a family of firefighters, she’s a natural, barking out orders and keeping her guys safe at the same time; and her big, tough guys respect her, treating her just like one of them. Away from her job, though, Andi doesn’t have a clue how to handle herself with men. That s why arson investigator Tucker Fields is so dangerous -- and so tempting. Tucker is no slap-you-on-the-back kind of guy; he s all man. A man who makes Andi feel sexy, alive, desired...

Or Is It Just Us?

To prove herself in a man s world, Andi has had to fight being a woman. But she s not the only one who knows how to give orders. As they spend days and nights on his investigation, Tucker s determined to start a fire of a different kind, releasing Andi s every inhibition and enticing her into losing all control as he shows her just how delicious being a woman can be -- and how good love can feel...
