Fire Inside Me
A coldhearted murderer yearning to be had and a pretty boy who wants to have him.

Sage Crawford makes a living eliminating people. Business is business until he contracts to exterminate a mark in the small town he used to call home. Sage hasn't been within hundreds of miles of where he grew up since he left, deserting his best friend whose family practically raised Sage. His idea of reconnecting nose dives when he realizes his target is the friend's younger brother. Skewing matters, while tracking his prey, Sage begins to hope for something he has endlessly searched for.

Emory Welton never hid being gay. His life is good until an encounter goes awry with the son of a gubernatorial candidate who wields power. The wealthy candidate will stop at nothing to be elected including keeping his son's sexual preference concealed. Things don't improve when Em finds himself attracted to an old family friend whose secret will devastate his family. And just when he thinks things can't get worse, Emory is kidnapped.

Embers smolder, sparks fly and heat grows igniting a fire that can't be smothered before flames become all-consuming.

Fire Inside Me rages with shades of John Wick, a pinch of Pretty Woman and a dash of 365 Days. And there's a kitty cat! No furry animals are harmed in this book.

Content/warning: best friend's brother, graphic discussion of abuse, drama, enemies to lovers, gay, HEA, murder on page, romance, strong language, violence (past and present)

This 2nd Edition is re-edited and contains over two thousand additional words.
