Synopsis

Crossing a line has never felt this good. I’m what you’d call a good girl—at least that’s what my family thinks. But I’m tired of living by everyone else’s rules. So when I sneak into a scandalous, masked costume party and spot Beau Walker—my longtime crush and my family’s sworn enemy—I do something bold: I cross the one line that's utterly forbidden. Hidden by shadows and masks, we lose ourselves in the hottest night of my life. Until I accidentally moan his name, and everything comes crashing to a halt. Beau says things I can’t forget, and my fantasy of him shatters along with my heart. But when suspicious fires break out at the high school where I teach, I’m forced to see the one firefighter I wish I could forget. And when our long-smoldering tension finally ignites, the heat between us lights up the sky—and reveals a danger neither of us saw coming. Burning Skies is an enemies-to-lovers, forbidden romance that features a scorchingly hot firefighter and the little sister of his long-time nemesis. If you enjoy cowboy families, old vendettas, and small towns brimming with secrets, this one is for you!
