Love Will Stay

My name is Salem Pryde, but you can call me Sarah Pryce. I collect secrets and sometimes, I keep them. I could be a demon or an angel, depending on whose story I believe. Colson's Corner is a delightful town. Tucked in the wilderness of the Sierra Nevada mountains, it's full of naïve, gullible, and friendly victims-er, I mean residents who still believe in being neighborly and kind, go to church, and leave their doors unlocked. I'll fit right in. By day, I volunteer at the church and sing songs to the preschool kids. I carry my Bible and play the part. By night, I collect secrets-especially from the men. They're such easy fools, and they'll never tell if I pick their pockets. There's one, though, who I don't want to fool. But I have to, or he'll tie me down and put me behind bars. And that just won't do. I'm Scott Colson, fire chief of Colson's Corner. I have a hard-enough job with house fires and campfire accidents without arsonists blowing up remote cabins and trailers high in the hills. The fire season is one nonstop wall of flames, smoke, and soot, and I live a lonesome life at my creek side cabin deep in the woods. That is, until the day I meet a fairy wearing denim shorts and work boots, wielding a fire axe and digging a fire line around my place. I'm completely captivated, especially when she flits in and out of my bed and puts out my late-night fires. She won't tell me a thing about her, not even her name, but she promises to stay around, and that's good enough for me. Until she's gone, leaving nothing but a bloody dress and a black book of people, places, and prices. Note: This book ends with a wicked cliffhanger. Watch for Salem's mystery to continue in Linx and Grady's romance, Taking Me Back, Desiring Danger #2. Welcome to Gold Country, California - love, gold, and psychopaths up in them hills.
