The absolute nerve of him. He knows how much this screws me over. I’m so upset I can’t even form words. Instead, I grab my wine and toss it in his face. For a second I savor his look of shocked horror that probably mirrors my own, and then I turn on my heel and storm out of the restaurant.
On the sidewalk two men are kissing, one in an expensive charcoal suit, the other in a beige delivery uniform. They break apart as I walk by, beaming at each other, and I catch the name Allen on the front of the uniform.
“Congrats,” I tell them, smiling through my tears. At least one of us is having a good day.

Acknowledgments
Although I’m probably best known for my contemporary romances, fantasy and science fiction have always been my true loves. I’ve wanted to write a fantasy romance for years, but was always scared to branch out into the genre.
When 2018 started I decided it was my year of trying new things, being bold, and writing what I love, so I bit the bullet and dove into Stroke The Flame. I absolutely loved writing it and can’t wait to see where Kira and her men take me next. But I couldn’t have embarked on this new venture without the help of many people, to whom I owe my deepest thanks:
My beta readers, Lissa Hawley and Amber Swinford. You both gave me such amazing notes and the book improved a thousand-fold thanks to your help!
Eva Chase, who helped me so much with everything from cover to blurb to plot ideas. I could not have done this without you!
Lidiya Foxglove and Sarah Piper, my favorite RH cheerleaders - your daily messages keep me going!
My husband, Gary Briggs, for accepting that sometimes the house is a mess when I’m on deadline but loving and supporting me anyway.
My amazing readers both new and old - thank you for taking this journey with me! I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of Kira’s story!
For all the girls who wanted to save the world too
