Publisher's Synopsis
When the flash fire of lust dies down to ashes, only then may the enduring flames of love be ignited. Jake Murphy wants something more, but he just doesn't know how to go about finding it. He knows the first thing he needs to do is remove the tentacled beast known as Jennifer Westin from his life. This crazy woman was bad enough that he would have chewed off his own arm to get away. Once he thinks it's safe to go out at night, he starts looking for the relationship he always knew he wanted. Firefighter by day, manager of the family's bar by night, Jake finds that he may be too busy to find what his heart says he needs. Chloe Johnston and Darrian Howser are best friends and musicians. Darrian works out at the gym while Chloe makes poor choices in men. They live separately, but both desire more out of their current relationships. Darrian finds a newspaper ad for an open mic night at a small town bar and starts thinking of the possibilities. One phone call to a crafty old man sets the wheels in motion. Will Chloe, Darrian and Jake find the love and happiness they crave...or be incinerated in the search for their hearts' desire?
