Never start a fire you can’t control…

Connor Bannon is supposed to be dead. Dishonorably discharged from the Navy SEALs, he's spent the last two years working as a street enforcer in Brooklyn for his cousin's crime ring. Through a twist of fate, he's now in Chicago, working undercover to bust criminals. But when a cute little arsonist joins the team—all combat boots, tiny jean shorts, and hot-pink hair—Connor’s notorious iron control slips.

Erin "she's getting away" O'Dea knows two things. She hates authority. And… Nope, that's it. When she's forced to operate on the “right” side of the law, her fear of being confined and controlled blazes to the surface. The last thing she expects is a control freak like Connor to soothe her when she needs it most. Worse, something behind the sexy ex-soldier's eyes ignites a dangerous inferno of desire. One that invites Erin to play with fire. And one that could get them both killed…

About Tessa Bailey

Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop, driving cross-country to New York City in under four days.
Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.
She now lives in Brooklyn, New York with her husband of seven years and three-year-old daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates

As a step mom one of the hardest things to watch is when one of the kids gets into trouble

You see David has 2 daughters and a son. I am pretty close to the baby daughter and also his son. The oldest daughter not so much. So when Travis or Leslie end up in trouble I hate it as it makes me think about what I would do if it had been Suzzane or Charlie. The things I hate the most is that I am there step mom but when they get into trouble I am supposed to stay out of it and let David and his ex wife deall with it which I do not think is fair. I saw this because Travis has lived with us several different times when he gets into trouble and it always cause trouble for David and I. So a couple weeks ago when he left his wife David decided he could stay here again. He did not bother to ask me or Charlie how we felt about it and so I was hurt and angry. It got to the point where I thought I would leave and let David have both boys and he could figure out what to do as no one would listen to me. Travis was allowed to just sleep all day and not look for a job as he was going through a hard time. So the night he came here to stay he had just signed his self out of the hospital as he had thought of killing his self. I did feel sorry for him but I knew it was a way for him to get attention which he did. I told David time and time again he would go back to the girl and when he left it would upset Charlie but David says no he will not take her back. She tried to kill him. He is done with her. My mother n law came to pick up Travis so he could go and talk to her and he did go back to her. Now we all have to worry about weather she is going to hurt him or not. We also have to try and figure out what type of place to admit him to if he begins to drink and do drugs again which I am afraid he will do. So today I decided to look online for places and I found one that is called Morningside Recovery Program http://morningsiderecoveryfaqs.com/ide and it has a lot of things that we would need to have for Travis. The question is if we could afford it as Travis does not have insurance. So as I write this I Pray to God that it does not come down to use admitting him into here but with him being Bi-Polar and not taking his meds we may be and it may be soon than anyone wants to think about. As I have buried one child and I do not want to bury a second one and I think that Morningside Recovery Program http://morningsiderecoveryfaqs.com/ can keep us from losing a second child. Glenda

What do you do when you have a friend you know who may be dying??

I have a friend Laurie who lives in my apartment complex. She has several health issues including a sleeping disorder. She does not have insurance and can not qualify for medicaid. Which upsets me. The medicines that she has to take are being discounted and we have searched every where for them. The only alternative she has is to take Ritalin and if you have heard of it then you may know about all the side effects that goes with it. If not, there is a lot as my daughter took it for a while and it is horrible. You do not grow and you bruise so easily. I am so afraid that this is going to do so much more harm than good. So we have spent a lot of time looking for the first medicine she was taking and we can not find it anywhere. I am to the point that I just do not know what to do to help her. If she has to go on Ritalin. It is so expensive that I went on line today to look for some pharmacies out of the country like in Canada to see if Canada drugs might be less expensive.Or that they might have some alternatives and I did not find any. So if things do not change by the end of Dec. and we get her the meds she needs her body will start to shut down and she will die. How am I supposed to just stand by and let this happen? What would you do? Tomorrow I am going to contact a pharmacy I saw online which is a Canadian Pharmacy and I sure hope they will be able to help us out. As I saw quite a few things I like on there site including that they have a low price guarantee. So tonight I am going to email my friend the site which is for the Canada Pharmacy and I hope that she finds the meds on there or at least one similar and that she can afford it. Because at this time with my husbands job up in the air I just do not have the funds to help her. If you all would Pray for Laurie and her husband Chris and the meds she needs I would really appreciate it.
