Playing With Fire (Smoky Heights #3)

My new chef is infuriating. Hotter than a Southern summer, arrogant, tattooed, with tree trunks for thighs. And I can’t keep away from him.

It’s not enough that I can’t escape him during the day. Now he’s in my kitchen, in my head, even my damn dreams. And the worst part? He knows exactly what he’s doing.

He doesn’t realize the game he’s started. Wilder Amante might be new to Smoky Heights, but nobody in this town holds a grudge like Alexis Weiss can. I’ll win this battle of wills and send him back to whatever New York City sewer my sister dragged him out of.

He’s running from a dark past, but I’ve got my own ghosts to worry about. A sibling I can’t forgive, a mother I can’t stop grieving, and a secret that could tear apart the family that’s barely started to mend.

When everything finally blows up, I’m not sure anyone in this town will survive the fallout.
Hell, I might not even want him to leave anymore.
But no one has ever stayed for me before, and why would he?

WILDER

Escaping my old life was the only thing I cared about. If I’m gone, I’m invisible.
Can’t be roped back into world if they can’t find me.

Then this small mountain town gave me something I never expected.
Someone worth sacrificing my freedom for.

If walking away keeps her safe, I’ll do it.
Even if it kills me to go.

Playing With Fire is the third book in the Smoky Heights series, and it’s the hottest, messiest, most banter-filled one yet. It can be read as a standalone, but hits hardest as book three. For fans of small towns, found family, and spice that burns like a shot of whiskey.
