If You Kiss Me

by Ciara Knight

Overview

Rugged and selfless firefighter, Blaze Warren, works hard to keep the people of Sugar Maple safe, especially his two daughters that recently came to live with him. Unfortunately, when it comes to parenting girls he's out of his element. His eldest even nicknamed him NeoRent (Neanderthal Parent). In an attempt to win her over, he promises to find the perfect dress for her winter formal even if it means taking her shopping.

New York fashion designer, Jacqueline Raynor, longs to return to the fame she'd left behind in the big city after her ex-husband stole her designs, her heart, and her trust. Shamed and ridiculed by the press and friends, she sought temporary refuge in her hometown with a vow she'd return to win back her life again someday.

Blaze is all wrong for Jacqueline. He's unkempt, disorganized, frumpy, and hot. But for some reason, when he accuses her of being selfish like his ex-wife, it bothers her. Despite her loathing of parental responsibilities, she decides to prove him wrong by rescuing his daughter from a fashion disaster, a job that brings them all closer together. But when a challenge interrupts her newfound happiness by a proposal from her ex-husband to restore her to former fashion designer glory, she must choose between family or fashion success.
