About The Book
Never
say what love can't—or won't—do.
Balloon Artist Gadiya Lassiter never imagined waking up
without the love of her life, small-town fire chief Nico Dupree. Then one day,
it becomes her tortured reality. Fast-forward two years…he's back and making
his intentions to rekindle their flame known. But she vows to never love him
again. As determined as she is to keep her heart out of his hands, love seems
to have its own agenda.
For Nico, returning home to Mount Pleasance, North
Carolina is not without its benefits. The most valuable, Gadiya. He’s
determined to reclaim her heart—despite her obvious goal to hate him. But he’s
not giving up on her; not again. He’ll just have to convince her the disdain
she harbors for him is far less potent than the love he knows she still has for
him. And he'll do it one scorching kiss at a time.
As their attraction grows hotter and hotter, will
Gadiya be able to escape the flames, or will Nico's fire consume her?

Excerpt
"Nico allowed Gadiya to escape his hold. He may not have
broken her shell, but he’d surely cracked it. As she made her way across the
floor, he said, “I’ll tell you what’s a waste of time. Your fighting this. You
have a right to be pissed at me, Gadiya, but you can’t deny you still feel
something for me.”
This stopped her in her tracks. Whipping around, she
charged him like a raging bull. “Anything I may have felt for you in the past
is long gone. I feel nothing for you now, Nico Dupree. Nothing. And I never
will.”
“Is that why you’re still single?” He regretted the
words the moment they escaped. There could have been a myriad of reasons why
she wasn’t in a relationship, none of them having anything to do with him.
Gadiya slowly shook her head, something in her
expression turning sad. “The reason I’m still single has nothing to do with
you. But if you must know, I decided to never give my heart to another man,
because the one man I trusted with it, shattered it into tiny pieces. I loved
that jerk, that coward, far more than he deserved. I loved him far more than
breathing, which was okay, because, with him, I never feared suffocating. He
gave me life. Then he took it away.”
Nico hadn’t expected her powerful summation. He
couldn’t speak, couldn’t move toward her, could hardly breathe. All he could do
was dumbly stare into her glistening eyes, then at her back as she turned to
leave.
Gadiya stopped at the door. Over her shoulder, she
said, “On second thought, I guess my being single has everything to do with
you. I never want to see you again, Nico. You are dead to me. Just like the
idea of me ever loving you again.”
With that, she was gone."
