Jagged Flames — Amy Shannon

Being stubborn, forgiving, and modest, seems to be trait shared by all the Markums. Mayor Elena Marshall has to not only deal with a betrayal from her husband, but also a verbose stalker, who endangers not only her life but the life of her best friend, Isaiah Dix. Starr Haskell is also the victim of a stalker, but is finally forced to admit it to her husband and brothers. Dr. Raina Markum tries to look out for her family and does everything in her power to keep it together, especially when she has to take care of her son, Fire chief Logan Markum, who is shot several times as he defends a friend and her grandsons, who are suffering from brain effects from a bullet that started their life early. Carey and Martin try to remain strong together, but things get complicated when Dr. Jasper Timmery leaves Logan because he's too afraid to reveal his betrayals. Logan's heart confusion causes him to reevaluate his life and he discovers something that his heart has always told him. What does he decide when the adventures start with what's in his heart and soul? Jim and Alex still maintain their friendship and when it comes time to devote themselves to each other, Jim becomes afraid and almost walks away. As the jagged flames almost take down Spring Tower, along with several residents, Jim is partnered with an unlikely ally and the two rivals take another turn in their relationship. Things will never be the same as the town comes together to rebuild what was once lost forever...
