About FIRE IN YOU (Standalone
Contemporary Romance Releasing November 28, 2016):
From the # 1 New York Times and International
bestselling author comes a richly moving story about heartbreak and guilt,
second chances and hope. Full of familiar, fan-favorite characters and no two
people more deserving of a happy ending, Fire In You will burn bright beyond
the last page…
Jillian Lima’s whole world was destroyed in a span of a few
hours. The same night her childhood love, Brock ‘the Beast’ Mitchell, broke her
heart, her life was irrevocably altered by the hand of a stranger with a
gun. It takes six years to slowly glue together the shattered pieces
of her life, but Jillian is finally ready to stop existing in a past full of
pain and regret. She takes a job at her father’s martial arts Academy and she’s
going out on her first date since a failed relationship that was more yuck than
yum. Jillian is determined to start living.
She just never expected Brock to be a part of her life
again. But he’s firmly back in her life before she knows it, and not only is he
older, he’s impossibly more handsome, more teasing and more everything.
And when he sees Jillian, he’s no longer capable of thinking of her as the
little girl who was his shadow growing up or the daughter of the man who gave
him a second chance at life. He sees the woman who’d always been there for him,
the one person who believed in him no matter what.
Brock knows she’s the one he should’ve made his,
and what begins as a tentative friendship quickly turns to red-hot chemistry
that sparks a flame that burns brighter than lust. Falling for Brock again
risks more than her heart, because when the sorrow-filled and guilt-ridden past
resurfaces, and a web of lies threatens to rip them apart, the fallout could
lay waste to everything they’ve fought to build together, and destroy the
dreams of those they care most about.

EXCERPT:
Brock’s
gaze flickered over my face and the line of his jaw softened. “It’s been a
really long time since you and I have sat and talked to one another. I know you
have every reason to hate me. I don’t blame you.”
“I
don’t hate you.” That twisting motion in my chest picked up. What I had said
was true. Maybe at one point I did. Okay. I’m sure I had, but I’d never been
one to hate anyone. It just wasn’t in me. Well, I hated plenty of fictional
characters, but some people would claim they didn’t count. I drew in a shallow
breath and repeated, “I don’t hate you.”
Brock
was still as he stared at me, a flicker of surprise and relief mingling across
his chiseled features. “I’m…I’m glad to hear that.”
I
pushed all that mess aside and focused. “Why are you even the GM? You’ve
probably made enough money to live a very, very long time without having to
worry about a paycheck.”
“I
have. When I retired from professional fighting two years ago, I could’ve lived
quite comfortably for the rest of my life.”
I
wanted to ask why he’d retired so young. At his age, he still had a couple of
more years left, but I resisted the urge. “So why take this job?”
A
frown started to appear. “Do you really need to ask me that?” Before I could
respond, he lifted a hand, thrusting his fingers through his hair as he said,
“Your father saved my life. That’s not an exaggeration. You know that. If it
hadn’t been for him, I would’ve died on those streets. The Academy became my
life and it is a part of me. This company is important to me, and even if I’m
not fighting, representing the Academy, I still need to be a part of it.”
Lowering
my gaze, I squirmed in my chair. Of course I knew that. No matter what had
happened, that would’ve never changed for him.
“I
love scouting, looking for fresh talent,” he continued. “As the GM, I can still
do that. I can give back to your father for everything he did for me. I need to
do that. Especially considering how badly I let him down.”
“How
in the world did you let my father down?” I asked, genuinely curious. “You’ve
won championships for him. Brought so much attention to the—”
“That’s
not what I’m talking about.” Tone serious, he held my gaze. “You never told him
why you were at Mona’s that night.”
I
stilled.
“If you
had, he would’ve—”
My
eyes snapped to his. “Brock.”
“And
I would’ve deserved everything I had coming to me,” he continued, leaning
forward. “And the only reason why I never told him you were there because of me
was because you made me promise not to.”
Closing
my eyes, I pressed my lips together. I had made him promise not to say a word.
I’d begged him, because I knew what would happen if he’d been honest. Brock
would’ve lost everything.
The
knot was back, expanding in my throat. I couldn’t sit here and think and talk
about these kinds of things if I was going to be able to make this job work.
Curling my hands together, I opened my eyes. “What happened back then has
nothing to do with now. It can’t.”
Brock
leaned back and straightened.
“And
I don’t want to talk about it,” I continued, struggling to keep my voice
steady. “We don’t need to talk about any of that for us to work together.”
He
was silent for a moment, his body deviously relaxed, but he was like a coiled
cobra, and could strike at any moment. “I don’t agree with that, but I’ll let
it go.”
Some
of the tension seeped out of my shoulders even though I had a feeling there was
an unspoken “for now” at the end of what he said. “That’s all, then? I would
like to get my office set up and get to work.”
Brock
nodded and pushed off the desk. Walking around it, he scanned the paperwork on
his desk. “I do believe we have a meeting today with the sales team. Two
o’clock.”
“Sounds
good.” I rose on oddly shaky legs and turned to the door. Everything felt
surreal.
“Jillian.”
Stopping,
I faced him. “Yes?”
His
shoulders rose with a deep breath as his gaze drifted over my face once more,
and I wondered what he thought about how I looked now. “I really want this to
work for us, Jillian,” he said, and I felt the very sharp twisting motion in my
chest give one powerful stab. “It’s a second chance for us.”
