And when a family friend—several years older—from her childhood still holds her heart, she knows they’re going to be a problem. Lucas Morrow is a man, and knowing her brothers, he may as well be forbidden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut years ago, Lucas left town and shows no signs of returning. Quinn knows she shouldn’t wait for him anymore. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUntil a package turns up on her doorstep with no return address and its contents reveal family secrets that threaten to turn her world upside down. She’s never asked about the path of her parents’ romantic history, but she soon learns their happy marriage had a very rocky and passionate start. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs she starts to see things around her with new eyes, Quinn will have to make tough choices about whether she’ll keep waiting…or finally go after what she really wants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003ci\u003eAflame\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTatum Brandt finally has everything she wants. Acceptance to medical school, a circle of friends she would never replace, and contentment that every day is now hers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll through high school, Jared Trent called the shots. He decided if she would be happy or sad, fearful or free. He owned her heart, and he played with it like one of his cars. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNever again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo years ago, Jared left town, and Tate’s life is exactly where she wants it to be. Or that’s what she tells herself…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause two years ago, her heart also stopped beating, and no matter the success in school or the support of her friends, there’s only one time every week she can feel that same rush in her blood. Friday nights on the track. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat’s hers, not his, and to hell with anyone that gets in her way again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEspecially him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*Please note: The Next Flame is not a new story.
