Fire Synopsis
Sophie
has enough problems in her life without Spencer turning her blood to fire,
without his eyes freezing and burning her, without his hatred of her. Since his
migration into the house next to hers, Sophia Valdez isn’t sure whether she
wants to toss him under a bus or kiss that smirking mouth of his. But even as
the temperature rises around them, leaping flames of passion, want and
desire,everything either has ever known will be shattered by the lurking shadow
hounding their every step, wanting revenge.
Spencer Rowth moves to the sleepy town of River Port with his mother and twelve
year old sister, Suzy, to escape a deceitful father, an unfaithful girlfriend
and a life crumbling much too fast for him to grapple onto only to be smacked
upside the head by the last thing he wanted again. Sophie was everything he
refused to want. Her temper, her wit, her laugh, her smile, the way her entire
body goes up in flames under his hands are things he would rather slam a lid on
and forget. Instead, he finds himself falling for the smart-mouth next door.
But how long will he have before the evil chasing them catches up? How long
before the very thing he never wanted becomes his only thread to sanity? And
who is after them? What do they want and why do they want Spencer and Sophie
dead?

Excerpt
“I won’t bite,” he said, probably
meaning it as a joke.
“Oh if only that were my only problem,” she sighed under her breath.
“What?”
She shook her head. “Nothing.”
She took his hand, slipping her icy fingers through his. The electric sparks tore a fiery path down the length of her arms, nearly melting the ice beneath their feet. She shivered involuntarily and felt his fingers flex.
“All right?” Had his voice always been so husky?
She dampened her lips. “Yeah…” The single word died in her throat as she was pulled towards him. Her heart tripped. Her lungs stilled. The heat of his body rushed over her with the subtle scent peppermint, leather, spices and smoke.
A soft mist blew around them. Raindrops glistened in his hair, shimmering under the pale glow of the light post. His eyes were shadowed beneath wispy fringes, but the silver in them glinted like pools of liquid mercury. Her breath caught. It must have made a sound because his fingers tightened. His shaky exhale caressed her flushed face.
“This,” he whispered so quietly she almost didn’t hear him. “Is why you are so bad for me.”
“Oh if only that were my only problem,” she sighed under her breath.

Author Bio
Airicka
Phoenix is the best-selling author of the Touch Series with short stories in
Whispered Beginnings: A Clever Fiction Anthology and Midnight Surrender
Anthology. When she's not hammering away at the keyboard, she can be found
banishing pirates or crawling through the attic looking for lost treasure with
her kids. She loves baking, gardening and reading. She also likes to travel and
take pictures of everything she comes across. When asked, Airicka describes
herself as a sarcastic basket case that has an unhealthy addiction to chocolate,
old movies and really bad jokes. She loves to laugh, make friends and write. If
she could have one wish granted, it would be to spend one day as a
fly-on-the-wall inside Stephen King's mind. If she could have two wishes
granted, she would ask for a castle dedicated entirely to her overwhelming
collection of books.
