Honky~Tonk HouseThe third book of the IMPACT series. He's a honky-tonk owner with a past he can't outrun. She's a firefighter who refuses to back down. After a gunshot nearly ends former police officer Nick Bianchi's life, he trades the badge for a second chance. Honky~Tonk House is the dance club that has fulfilled a dream and become a refuge, but trouble follows him like smoke. Violent gang members he's put away hold grudges and circle like crows, and a firebomb nearly destroys the fragile peace he's built.
Firefighter Lieutenant Kateri Swiftwater has fought her way up the ranks to lead a team with grit and heart, earning respect along the way. On her time off, she plays a mean fiddle and sings with a voice as warm and fulfilling as biscuits and gravy. Filling in for a friend's band at Honky~Tonk House, she meets a man with T-R-O-U-B-L-E written all over him. Though something about him pulls at her in ways she didn't expect.
Threats escalate, and gang tensions burn, as their lives become dangerously intertwined. She's trained to run into burning buildings. He's spent years trying to escape the flames of his past. Together, they might just find the courage to face what's coming-if the firestorm doesn't consume them first. There's a spark between the two that could save them-or burn everything to the ground.
