All I wanted was a sweet treat to cap off my evening ...

Most people celebrate a milestone like graduating from Chicago’s firefighter academy with shots, clubbing, and … okay, more shots. Me? I party with cherry pie at my local diner.

Except this hot guy—and I mean smoking hot—snags the last piece.

I won’t be denied, however. Rocking a serious case of pie envy, I give him the sad eyes and jackpot! He offers to share. Before long we’re sharing more than pie: heated glances, sparkling conversation, and a kiss that sends me some place I didn’t know existed before I met him.

But after every sugar high comes a crash … and I’m about to find out that this guy is very bad for me indeed.

One Night Burn is a short and sweet prequel to the full-length novel, Up in Smoke.
