All of her adult life, Deedra Marlan has been married to a man who has
stifled her independence and dominated her to the point that she accedes all decisions
to him. When Deedra's husband is killed in a car wreck, she finds herself adrift
and unsure of herself. Deedra decides to run the restaurant her husband owned in order
to keep occupied and gain more independence for herself. When Josh McKenzie steps
into the restaurant, she is not prepared for her body's heated reaction to him, nor
her instant mental rejection of the man.

Josh McKenzie does not hold much respect for women after divorcing his wife,
who seemed to want him only for monetary gains. But when Josh meets Deedra, he
senses a specialness about her and becomes determined to make her his own. Which proves
to be difficult, as Deedra thwarts his advances at each and every turn.

Katlyn Stewart provides a fun, tantalizing read with FIRE IN THE ICE, playing
to great advantage the sexual chemistry between Deedra and Josh. The story is
heartwarming; a life journey of two people with diverse personalities who
challenge one another in ways neither has faced before. The mindset of the characters
is portrayed with sensitivity, realism and true clarity, the plot paced to
perfection. But one cannot forget the love story, which is the essence of the book,
one that will lingers in the mind long after the read is finished.
