A Cowboy Firefighter for Christmas

Kim Redford. Sourcebooks Casablanca, $7.99 mass market (384p) ISBN 978-1-4926-2147-8

An over-the-top cowboy joins perfectly with a strong heroine and small-town living in Redford’s debut, which launches the Smokin’ Hot Cowboys contemporary romance series. Trey Duval is a cowboy who ranches, fights fires, and throws himself headfirst into supporting his hometown, Wildcat Bluff, Tex. Troubleshooter Misty Reynolds lands in his lap like a Christmas present from heaven. He and the whole town start calling her their Christmas angel after she arrives just in time to help Trey stop a potentially deadly fire. Fire is Misty’s nemesis, and she hates Christmas almost as much. But she’s certain she can handle both her phobia and her dislike of the holiday season when she accepts an undercover job to discover the cause of mysterious fires in town. The attraction between Trey and Misty is instant, scorching, and flavored with just a hint of sweet innocence. Add in the distilled essence of a perfect small town, and this tale will melt even the iciest heart. Agent: Elaine English, Elaine English PLLC. (Oct.)
