Fearless

Kincaid follows Reckless with an adrenaline-packed contemporary romance that boasts plenty of literal and figurative heat. Savannah Nelson is bent on proving she has what it takes to join the close-knit brotherhood of Station Eight, a firehouse in the fictional American town of Fairview (in an unnamed state). Captain Westin is tough, but he gives Savannah a fair chance by pairing her with his best firefighter, Cole Everett, who’s known for his methodical and focused nature. Cole finds Savannah’s brashness and impetuousness dangerous on the job, and distractingly sexy during their time off. Savanna is defensive about being the only female candidate for the firehouse, and she tends to argue and push instead of thinking, but under Cole’s tutelage, she learns to plan first. Savannah is ready to combust from the sizzling chemistry between them, and when she makes the first move, Cole is eager to follow. The romance is sweet and sexy, and the pair’s intimate conversations are peppered with lust and flirtation. Cole and Savannah have each other’s backs and form an intense connection as friends, colleagues, and lovers. The mystery they are unraveling transforms the romance into a gripping page-turner from start to finish. Agent: Maureen Walters, Curtis Brown Literary. (July)
