~ ♥ Synopsis ♥ ~
Arie Reynolds is a strong
willed, independent woman. Her life as a stuntwoman in movies is enough to keep
her fulfilled. After nearly losing her life in an accident, she finds that she
has a new “ability” – one that allows her to cross into a parallel reality.
When she’s once again faced with her mortality, she must decide how she’ll use
her ability — will it save her life or will she end up losing the one thing
that matters most?
Cole Mercer is a charming
firefighter who’s used to getting what he wants out of life, until he fell for
Arie. Through the difficulties of her career and a seemingly impossible choice,
can Arie make the right choice? Can Cole tame this spitfire’s heart or will he
be the one that ends up getting burned?

~ ♥ Excerpt ♥ ~
“Anytime. Great to meet
you Palmer!”
“You
too, Phillip.” The sky opened up and the giant droplets struck the ground.
Palmer squealed and tried to cover her head.
Brant
grabbed her hand and this time she didn’t complain as they started running
toward the truck. Palmer missed avoiding a puddle and stepped clumsily in it
splashing cool water up on her jeans. She tried to hold her purse over her head
but the contents spilled out on the now wet ground.
Palmer
stopped running to gather her belongings that were all rolling in different
directions.
“Save
yourself! I got this!” Brant yelled to Palmer as he scrambled around grabbing
lipstick containers, earplugs, and a box of Kleenex.
He
held out the now soaking wet box of Kleenex and shrugged his shoulders. “Keep
it?”
Palmer
stood and started to laugh whole-heartedly. Brant was on his knees and soaked
so that his wet shirt clung to his body. He gazed up at her and couldn’t help
but laugh too as she was standing in front of him dripping wet.
Her
hair hung in wet blonde strips around her face and her mascara started to
create rivers down her cheeks. She bent over and clutched her stomach as she
continued to laugh.
“Who
looks like the drowned cat lady now?” Brant teased.
“Okay,
stop. My stomach hurts from laughing so much.” Palmer looked over to the eight
feet that separated her from the truck. She held her hand out for Brant and he
slipped his warm hand into hers.
“I
guess there’s really no need to run now since we’re soaked, huh?” He opened the
truck door for Palmer so she could climb in.
Once
they were warm and dry inside the cab, Brant took his thumb and wiped the
streak of mascara off Palmer’s cheek.
“So,
do you have a hair dryer in that purse too?” Brant joked.
“Ha
ha. You wish. Whew! Look at us! We’re soaked and I’m freezing.”
Brant
clicked on the heat and held his hand up to feel the warm air that started to
blow through the vent. He reached behind the back of the seat and pulled out a
sweatshirt. As he draped the warm, dry shirt over Palmer’s shoulders, she
leaned in closer to him.
“Thank
you,” she muttered quietly.
Brant
took a wet strand of hair and tucked it behind her ear. “Anytime.” His eyes
flicked down to her pink rose bud mouth and he instinctively licked his lips.
A
familiar churning began in Palmer’s belly as she gazed up at Brant through her
wet eyelashes.
Brant
slowly moved closer to her and sweetly set his mouth on hers. His warm tongue
invaded her mouth and ran along the edge of her teeth. A small moan escaped her
lips as she matched his movements. She reached her arms up and entwined them
around his neck, pulling him closer to her. His warmth and sweetness poured
into her in the form of a kiss. She greedily sucked and twirled her tongue
around his, desperate for more.
When
he broke away she was breathless. She gulped at the air as she felt a flame
lick through her body.
“I
hope that was okay. I should’ve asked first,” Brant whispered.
“Trust
me, it was better than okay. Feel free to do that again and often,” Palmer
glanced at him and grinned sheepishly.
Brant
laughed, “Well, good to know. How about we get something to eat? Are you
hungry?”
“I’m
starving.” But not for food.
