Alec by Margaret McHeyzer

He’s a firefighter who’s been wounded.
She’s the one healing his recovery.
Their stubborn attraction is explosive.

Alec Morgan is a firefighter in small town Mulberry Point. He’s incredibly arrogant, whose entire world revolves around work and fast women. When he’s injured in a fire, he’s forced to accept help from someone who isn’t afraid to call him on his ego.
Serena Whitaker remains haunted by family grief. With no other option, she’s forced to work several jobs to provide a better life for her brother and herself. Although she leads a lonely life, she finds she’s growing closer to Alec the more time they spend together.
As Alec uncovers the reason why she’s working so tirelessly, his protective instinct sparks their connection. But when Serena’s threatened by outside forces, she realizes she needs to make changes in her life.

Can they rise above the ashes of trauma and kindle a passionate love?
