My newest story….

Polly Lamphier is a newly minted recipient of a master’s degree when she takes a job in the small town of Fulton.  She’s not partial to small towns, but Fulton is on the shores of Wakega Lake, and Polly refuses to live anywhere there isn’t water. 

Patrick McGinty is twenty-three and already a veteran volunteer firefighter.  He doesn’t do much but hang out at the fire house and his job at Anthony’s Grill, but dreams of becoming a paramedic. He falls head first for Polly when she moves there, but Polly has already been burned-literally–and has the scars to prove it. She lost her father and two sisters in a house fire as a child, a fire that left her with burn scars on her back and neck that she desperately tries to keep people from seeing.  It’s only after getting to know Patrick, his fire chief, Scott, the school principal, Anita, and others in this town does Polly discover the truth about Fulton.  Everyone in Fulton is a burn victim…some just hide it better than others.
