On Fire

By Jan Hambright

WHERE THERE?S SMOKE

Arson investigator Kade Decker had his hands full with four suspicious fires and no leads. Complicating matters was crime–scene psychologist Savannah Dawson's appearance at each investigation and the red–hot attraction that raged between them.

THERE?S SMOLDERING FIRE

And when it became clear that the same person responsible for setting the terrifying blazes had begun to target Savannah, honour demanded Kade offer his protection. But as danger around them fuelled their desire, a burning question remained: Would the combustible passion between them be extinguished by the madman on their trail?

I always wanted to be a writer, and as a mystery lover from the time I learned to read, those were the types of stories I was always coming up with. It took a fateful detour at the local used bookstore to turn me on to romance. One day while perusing the shelves, I turned a corner and wandered into the romance section without realising it. The mystery and romance sections were next to each other, with the Harlequin Intrigues fittingly shelved on the border between the two. With dramatic covers and great suspenseful-sounding titles, they looked like something I'd enjoy, so I bought a handful of them. It wasn't long before I knew these weren't just what I wanted to read, they were what I wanted to write: stories with the spine-tingling danger of great suspense and the heart of a good romance. Getting the chance to write for Intrigue is as much a thrill for me as any found between the covers of one, and I hope to give readers all the action, emotion and twists and turns that made me fall in love with these books all those years ago.Thank you for your interest in my work. I love hearing from readers, and can be reached via email at [e-mail]

Reviews for On Fire

[cldunn-1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I really enjoyed this book and read it in 24 hours. There is an explosion on the Encounter that put Riley St Joe and her grandfather Emile Labreque, an oceanographer, in grave danger. A year later they are still trying to find the answers to what happen. FBI agent John Straker is living in a cabin of Emile's on a small island recovering from gun shot wounds when Riley shows up. They have known each other as children but never got along. Before Riley can leave, a dead body floats up near the island. As they join forces to try and solve the mystery of what happened that day to the Encounter, they and family members of Riley & her grandfather are placed in danger.Several times I thought I knew who was involved but after another chapter I would change my mind. That made me keep reading to find out what happened. A very good story. I would recommend reading this book if you like Carla Neggers.
