Familiar Fire
by Caroline Burnes

A FEAR FAMILIAR MYSTERY

THE HEAT WAS ON…

Burning, scorching, searing heat—that’s what new sheriff Kate McArdle felt every time she encountered Silver City’s fire chief, Jake Johnson. Which was often since a rash of arsons was forcing them to work together.

Desperate to identify the arsonist, Kate had even hired a crime-solving cat. Trouble was, far more than the cat’s name was “Familiar.” Kate and Jake shared a sizzling past—one form which Kate had fled years ago. But now, like a moth to a flame, she’d come home…to a man who’d once chosen a ranch over her. To a man she still loved.

And to a man who was not only the fire chief—but Kate’s chief suspect.

Originally published January 1998 in mass market paperback in Harlequin Inrigue #452 and reissued January 2005 by Harlequin.
