A small town and a sexy stranger make for one steamy summer on the bayou—but is it too hot for her to handle?

Enza Parker never wanted to set foot in Bayou Sabine again—but inheriting her estranged grandmother’s house means she has no choice but to go back. She’s in the business of fixing things—mainly houses—but her romantic life? Yeah, that’s broken beyond repair.

Silver lining: she can flip the sweet old farmhouse and sell it for a nice profit—and that just might get her back on her feet again.

The only catch? Enza’s new house has an unexpected tenant: sexy firefighter Jack Mayronne. Before she can say “eviction,” he turns on the charm and offers to help her with the flip—if she lets him stay. He’s hotter than a tin roof in July, but he looks like he can use a hammer just fine. She can keep it professional. No problem.

This town’s full of surprises, though, and soon Jack is the least of her worries. Sparks fly as they share a roof and as their fling intensifies, Enza stumbles on a dark family secret that she can’t ignore. Jack has his own secrets, but he’s skilled at knocking down walls—especially the ones Enza has built around her heart. They might be better for each other than she first thought—but is she bold enough to find out if what they have can last?

When Enza learns that her new friend Lucille’s in trouble, she’s desperate to help her: even if it means hiding the truth from Jack. And her mother’s disappearance?

One explosive dinner proves that nothing stays buried on the bayou. With Jack feeling betrayed and Lucille in danger, Enza’s sure she’s ruined her beautiful new life. She’s determined to fix what’s broken and save the people she holds dear—but how much will she sacrifice to put her demons behind her for good?

After her estranged grandmother’s death, thirty-year-old Enza Parker returns to the town where she spent her childhood summers in the hopes of closing the door on her troubling past. Fifteen years ago, Enza’s mother disappeared and ripped her family apart—but the truth of her disappearance has remained a mystery.

With her best friend Kate in tow, Enza goes back to Bayou Sabine to pay her respects—but she’s quickly overwhelmed by her greatest fear: what if she finds her mother there after all these years? And what if her father has hidden the truth from her all this time?

A spark of attraction is an alluring invitation—to stay in this place that once gave her the freedom she longs for as an adult. But does she dare upend her life and uncover the truth if it means learning everything she believes about her family is a lie?
