About this ebook

I've lived with the stares, whispers, and hateful accusations of small-town gossips for years. Being the sister of the town pariah comes with consequences. But when the petty harassment turns darker, more drastic measures are required. I just didn't expect those measures to include my former high school crush—the golden boy turned smoking hot firefighter—offering protection… as my boyfriend. Are we just pretending, or is this becoming something real? And can it survive the string of arsons that threaten us both?

Smoke on the Water is book .5 (prequel) to the Wayward Sons series by Harper Jackson (Kait Nolan) and what a way to start this new series! 4.5 stars Hoyt and Caroline had eyes on each other since high school but never crossed the line. He left town, became a hot shot firefighter, returns home to work with the local fire department and runs into Caroline at the town bar and becomes her fake boyfriend…which leads to trouble on so many levels. Unexpected fires, harassment, family issues, whispe

Smoke on the Water is an engaging story about a family that has been linked to crimes and children who have been abused by a parent until they reach an age were they can be their own masters and everything changes. Caroline finds love but also finds her life upside down as unreasonable events seem to circumvent her. She can't believe that she is being accepted into a family and loved and protected. A good romance story with lots of mystery and action. I thank Ms. Nolan for this ARC.

Wow, I loved this first book by Harper Jackson! The suspense was perfect and the quick romance between Caroline & Hoyt was believable because of their history. This prequel really did a good job of introducing the members of the town, the Wayward Sons and the past happenings that will have an impact in her future books in the series. If this is an example of her writing, I'll be impatiently waiting for the next book to come out. Amazing, I'm hooked!

About the author

Harper Jackson has rescued her co-workers from a hostage situation, battled ninjas, and stopped international espionage—in her head anyway. Now that she’s no longer busy devising ways to make staff meetings more entertaining, she’s pouring that imagination into tales of breath-stealing, small-town romantic suspense. She believes that peach cobbler with ice cream is the best dessert ever and has a black belt in taekwondo to back it up. She lives in the Deep South with her husband and three canine furbabies.

Kait Nolan is a USA Today best selling, RITA® Award-winning Mississippi author who calls everyone sugar, honey, or darlin', and can wield a 'Bless your heart' like a Snuggie or a saber, depending on requirements. She believes in love, laughter, and that tacos are the world's most perfect food. When she's not writing, reading, or wrangling family (both the two-legged and the four-), you can find her obsessively watching The Great British Bake Off.
