Synopsis:
The First-Responders is a contemporary romance, novella
series. Each book will be able to be read as a standalone. Book 1 is about
Macy, a graduate student and soon to be elementary school teacher, and Seth, a
firefighter.
Macy has had a rough go of it with boyfriends lately.
"Bad luck or no luck at all" seems to be her constant go-to
phrase.
Seth is a firefighter at a Santa Barbara sub station,
and is pretty much the Greek god Adonis come-to-life in Macy's eyes. The
question is, though, how to get him to notice her.
There is an electric current in the air from the first
moment they meet. Seth is a perfect gentleman and Macy, as always, falls
hard... both figuratively and literally.
But it doesn't take long for things to start falling
apart.
Unexpected surprises lead her down a road she had never
even considered.
Macy has a decision to make once her rose-colored
glasses have been removed. Will she, or won't she?
Sparks are definitely going to fly!

Excerpt:
I ride right up next to Seth and put it in park.
He’s standing out in front of the Hummer, playing something on his phone when
we drive up. Walking around to open up the door for me, I notice he’s wearing
black and red board shorts that are riding ridiculously low on his hips. His
head is topped with a matching DC ball cap. I’m biting my bottom lip
so hard, I taste a faint hint of blood.
“Good morning, Macy.” He takes my hand as I jump down
out of the Jeep.
“Hey, Seth,” I say meekly. “This is my friend Rachel
that was blabbering in the background when you called the other night.”
He nods his head. “Nice to meet you.”
I walk around to the back and open the rear gate.
“Let me get that for you gals,” he’s quick to add as he grabs the cooler.
We each grab our tote bags containing towels, sunscreen,
and what not.
“Got a favorite spot?” Seth looks around.
“Actually, over by that stack of driftwood is
great!” Rachel puts her two-cents worth in.
“Close enough so you can keep an eye on the lifeguard
stand, huh?” I lean over and whisper to her.
She smirks at me. “I’m going to rent one of those big
ass umbrellas. Join you guys in a minute.”
My eyes bug out when I realize she’s abandoning
me.
“So, how’s your leg feeling? I don’t see any signs of a
limp.”
“Fine actually.” We set our little area up while we wait
for Rachel. Towels out, cooler open, music on.
“Mind if I take a look?” Seth motions for me to come in
front of him.
I stand up, blushing a little as I start to take the
wrap off. It kind of feels a little like stripping in front of this gorgeous
specimen of a man. I take a half-step forward with my left leg and put it
at a slight bend in between his legs. He begins to run his fingers around the
edges of the abrasions on my calf, applying light pressure. The combination of
the tingles his fingertips are creating and the slight pain
of the pressure on the bruising is erotically blissful. Seth switches to his thumbs
as he continues to trace the larger portion of the injury, past my knee, up
onto my lower thigh.
I can feel my body start to waver under his touch, and
the tingle between my thighs is starting. I don’t even realize it until I hear
Rachel say, “You two need a moment alone?” but my head is
lolled back, and my tongue is tracing a line on my upper teeth. I
turn beet red and try to pull my leg back, but Seth locks his fingers behind my
thigh and keeps it in place.
“Almost done.” He places his wide hand over the bulk of
the scabbed-over scrape. “Good, no heat. Everything seems to be healing
perfectly. Keep up with the Bacitracin and the scarring should be minimal.”
Once he releases my leg, I grab the wrap and throw it
back around my waist before I take a seat.
“So Seth, how long have you been at the fire department?
What did you do before that?” Rachel nudges me, as she gets
the interrogationrolling.
“I’ve been with the SBFD for three years now. I’m the
Medical Services Battalion Chief. Before that, I served two tours in the Middle
East as a Fire Protection Specialist onboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.”
My jaw drops again. A Firefighter and
ex-military. Mmm. So much potential.
