About this ebook

 Now with  a new epilogue!


The first book in a new contemporary series from USA Today BestSelling Author Melissa Schroeder that is hot as the Texas sun.


As a firefighter, Cooper Murray has had his share of close calls, both on and off the job. When he’s injured in a four-alarm fire, he’s left at the mercy of Misty, his soon to be ex-wife. They’ve been estranged almost since their whirlwind romance and Vegas wedding. No woman has ever made him so insanely crazy or tugged at his heartstrings the way she does. Still, being in the same room is always dangerous for both of them.


Misty is convinced she’ll pay for her mistake of a marriage for the rest of her life. Coop was the one man who had captured her heart, and then he stomped on it and went back to Dallas. She had just started to live her life again when she got the call about Coop and his injuries. Misty isn’t in the mood to play nursemaid, but since he has refused to sign their divorce papers for eight months, she plans on using his confinement to force him to do just that.


With his injuries forcing close quarters, both Coop and Misty discover they have more in common than just the passion they share. Little by little, the pain of their past fades. But when things get tough, will they be able to hold the fragile new relationship together, or are they doomed to commit the mistakes of their past?

A fast paced, easy to read, sexy novella that grabs your attention at page one and leaves you wanting more. Cooper and Misty get their second chance at marriage and romance, but they first have to determine if they can get past Misty's secret. Looking forward to the other Eldridge brothers books. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.

Cooper & Misty are on FIRE! When a fireman gets hurt on the job, the first person to call is the wife that no one knew about! Cooper Murray has run away from the life that he knew during happier times with his wife, Misty Eldridge. Cooper never thought he would have to explain that he was left by Misty, but now she is back to take care of him and there are a lot of unanswered questions between the two. Misty has been trying to move on with her life after the pain she felt over losing Copper. She was never told her family about what happened but she was not in a situation that it will all come out! This story is short & sweet and includes the over bearing brothers and a brooding man who doesn't know exactly how to love! Cameron & Misty had the love at first sight type of romance and quickly learned there was work to be done, but it was worth it in the end and it will be great to see the Misty's brothers get their time in the spotlight!

Cooper and Misty met, fell in love, got married, and separated, all within a 12-week period. Now 8 months later, Cooper, a firefighter, is seriously injured in a 4-alarm fire. As soon as Misty gets the call, she drops everything and rushes to his side, and the first words she speaks are, “You low down, dirty mongrel. Give me one good reason not to kill you.” And the contest begins. Now that Misty’s back by his side, Cooper needs to figure out how to keep her there, but Misty just wants to guard her heart while making sure Cooper’s okay and getting him to sign their divorce papers. For a brief novella, this sure pacts a punch. The narrative is fast-paced, full of feelings and passion. As Cooper and Misty work through their relationship issues, an unexpected secret comes to light which could derail their reunion. Theirs is a bumpy ride with surprising twists and turns and at times heart wrenching emotions. Come along for the start of a most engaging new series. You won’t be sorry! Looking forward to the next in the Eldridge’s saga.

About the author

  From an early age, USA Today Bestselling author Melissa Schroeder loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, Winnie the Pooh and the Beatrix Potter books. She cut her preteen teeth on Trixie Belden and read and reviewed To Kill a Mockingbird in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.


Since her first published book, Grace Under Pressure, Mel has had over 60 short stories, novellas, and novels published. She has written in genres ranging from historical to contemporary to futuristic and has worked with 8 publishers although she handles most of her publishing herself. She is best known for her Harmless and Santini series.

After years of following her military husband around the country and world, Mel happily lives with her family in horse and wine country in Northern Virginia.
