Bayside Dreams — Stacy Claflin

All of her dreams just went up in flames.

Cassidy's entire life was wrapped up in her business boarding and caring for pets -- that is, until the night it burned down.

Shale never expected to find love again, especially with a stubborn woman running into the flames. Ever since his wife died, he's avoided emotion like the plague, but there's something about the annoying stranger that makes him want to know more.

Cassidy has physical and emotional scars from the night she lost everything. Whenever she looks in the mirror, she's reminded that nobody could ever love her the way she now looks… except there's no denying the way the gorgeous firefighter keeps finding reasons to be around her.

But the hidden scars each holds close to their hearts are their biggest obstacles. If they can't overcome what's holding them back, they'll lose each other forever.
