I learned that just recently when I walked into a bar on the South Side and found the love of my life—Jameson Clarke.He’s everything I’ve always wanted, and yet somehow even better than I imagined. He’s brave, brash, protective of those he loves, and under all that bravado is a vulnerability that calls to my very soul.Jameson’s a storm cloud, but he thinks I’m the sun. If that’s true, then I’m determined to break through the shadows of his past and steal his heart the way he’s stolen mine.Wicked Flame is book two in Ryan Carrigan & Jameson Clarke's story and should be read after Wicked Heat. less
