<i><b>Who said high school love doesn't last?</b></i><br /><br />Everyone with a functioning brain. Especially when the breakup came via a glittery "Dear Jane" greeting card featuring the single worst poem ever written inside.<br /><br />Jane Willoughby squashed that card – and her feelings for Chance McGovern – the day she read it. Ten years later he's back in Pineville: sexier, broader-shouldered, and now the assistant fire chief, complete with a cute kid and a messy divorce. Forgiveness? Hard pass. Even her cat, Cyclops, gives Chance his one-eyed murderous glare.<br /><br />To be fair, Cyclops hates everyone. Jane is just choosing to see it as emotional support.<br /><br />Chance is once bitten, twice shy. All he wants is a quiet life, stability for his son, and definitely no reminders of the stupid teenage mistake with the girl he never quite forgot.<br /><br />But life, and some small-town meddlers, have other plans for them. Forced together to plan the annual Fireman's Ball, Jane and Chance have a hard time keeping their relationship strictly professional. Chance is great at putting out fires… but the one they're sparking? He might just decide to let it burn.<br /><br /><b>Putting Out Old Flames</b> is a laugh-out-loud small-town rom-com about second chances, single dads, and one very grumpy cat. Full of meddling neighbors, forced proximity, and a smoking-hot firefighter who's just as good at starting sparks as putting them out.<br /><br /><i>Author's Note: All of my books are 100% written by human quasi-intelligence.
