    …and he’s as sexy as ever. Why did Desmond leave, and can Mia rescue him in time? Can she resist his erotic charms or will they consume her? And after everything that’s happened, will their love still prevail?

    Ablaze is a sensual blend of romantic comedy and romantic suspense, starring a brilliant BBW and a protective alpha male.
