Sizzling Nights by PJ Fiala

Love may be the only thing strong enough to save them from the flames of the past.
When danger ignites, only love can douse the flames.
Former Navy SEAL Marco Karason has traded the battlefield for the kitchen, seeking solace as the head chef at Sarge’s Sandbar in the quiet town of Blossom Springs. But peace is fleeting when his protective instincts are triggered by Theresa Miklovic, the fiery server with a past as mysterious as her captivating smile.
Theresa isn’t just rebuilding her life; she’s hiding from it. A former investigative journalist, she exposed a dangerous criminal syndicate, only to become their next target. Strange events—threatening notes, vandalism, and suspicious shadows—prove her enemies haven’t forgotten her. Now, she must trust the one man who seems capable of protecting her, even as their undeniable chemistry threatens to complicate everything.
As danger closes in and a fire threatens to destroy the restaurant—and possibly their lives—Marco is forced to step out of the kitchen and back into combat mode. Together, he and Theresa must uncover the truth, outsmart their enemies, and confront the sparks flying between them.
Can they extinguish the danger before it consumes them both?
Sizzling Nights is a steamy, small-town romantic suspense that blends passion, danger, and redemption. USA Today bestselling author PJ Fiala delivers a heart-pounding story of love that burns as bright as the flames threatening to destroy it all.
