Books like Where There's Smoke-- by Laura Abbot


Jeri Monahan serves as a volunteer firefighter in her Arkansas hometown, while Dan Contini, a former navy officer, has recently taken over as the town’s fire chief. Jeri is a natural risk‑taker, eager to embrace every challenge, whereas Dan embodies a more traditional protective instinct, believing that women should not be exposed to physical danger. Both women and men have aspirations that go beyond their jobs: Jeri seeks marriage and family, while Dan is a divorced father still hurt by his ex‑wife’s unfaithfulness. Their stark differences create tension, but the sparks between them grow as they confront their own beliefs about love, duty, and what it means to share a life together.
