Jess Anastasi Libri

When an arsonist targets a kind-hearted park ranger, a firefighter steps up to protect him... and overcome his fear of dating in the process. Park Ranger Troy Hurst has his hands full with a long, hot summer causing fires to break out all over the Sam Houston National Forest, and it looks like the weather isn't the only culprit. But helping two abandoned teenage boys and facing the memory of his own difficult childhood will require all Troy's strength and courage--he doesn't have anything left to deal with the increasingly dangerous fires. Firefighter Jared Winters has never been one to turn his back on those in need, and Troy and his young wards are in more danger than they know. Even though Jared is still reeling from an abusive relationship and Troy's never acted on his attraction to men, the heat between them is impossible to extinguish, and before they know it, they're planning to become foster parents--a family. But first they'll need to find and stop the dangerous criminal threatening homes and lives in Everness.

In space, you can't hide from temptation... Nick-named Hardass by the new recruits, Leigh Alphin is captain of the Fighter Force of the battleship Valiant Knox. He's honorable, straightforward, and hard as nails - except for the soft spot he has for a young woman he rescued off a transport under attack. Now that she's one of his new recruits, it's imperative he stop thinking about her in that way. Especially now that the Knox has been secretly infiltrated by the enemy. Mia Wolf's new commanding officer is icy, no-BS, and completely gorgeous. His glances send heat searing through her. Neither of them can afford to make this mistake, yet desire takes hold, consuming them. For the first time, Leigh's iron sense of honor falters as his heart fights for love... and against an enemy trying to destroy everything they hold dear.
