A Bittersweet Goodbye
Round and Round is the fourth, and final story in the
Bronco’s Boys series. In a way I am very
sorry to see this series come to an end.
I love each of the boys and had a great deal of fun writing each story. They were lively and had action as well as
heat and passion. From mercenaries, to
drug dealers, arsonists and betrayal, these stories gave me a wide range of
things that I could have fun with and I have to say I really did.
When I was writing the books I left Kevin’s story to
last. I really don’t know why other than
the fact that he seemed to sit in the background and wasn’t quite ready to talk
yet. When he did, it was something
else. Round and Round is very much the
capstone story in this series. Zach and
his friends are each happy and settled with the men of their dreams.
However, I have to say that I couldn’t leave well enough
alone. So I have started a new series in
this world. It’s centered around the
firemen that Angus works with. So I can
promise you that you’ll get glimpses of Kevin and friends in the new
stories. The first one is written and
it’s called Old Flame. So while its
farewell to Bronco’s Boys, we will be able to say hello to some new
heroes.
Now let's check out Round and Round....

When it comes to love, Kevin Foster can’t seem to win. Some
consider him a hero, but dousing an arsonist’s attempt to burn Bronco’s to the
ground puts Kevin on the vengeful criminal’s radar. Afterward, the arsonist
fixates on Kevin, determined to burn away every part of Kevin’s life.
Coming to Kevin’s rescue more than once, and in more ways
than one, is “MacDreamy Hotness”—firefighter Angus MacTavish. Not only is Angus
smitten at first sight, he learns Kevin’s nickname for him, intriguing him
further.
When Angus discovers Kevin is the arsonist’s target, he
takes it upon himself to protect him at any cost. Soon Kevin works his way into
a heart Angus thought he’d closed off for good. Things heat up between them, but
the arsonist has no intention of letting Kevin finally find happiness.
Hopefully Angus and Kevin can stop him before he reduces everything Kevin
values to ash—including the love igniting between him and Angus.

Excerpt:
His wandering thoughts stilled as a small flash of light out
in the far corner caught his eye. Kevin didn’t even know why it got his
attention, but it did. It had to have been Bull telling all of them over and
over to be aware of what was going on around them. He watched that area but
didn’t see anything more for a few seconds—until the light began to build. A
chill ran up his spine and everything else was forgotten. Kevin raced to Bull,
parting dancers and pushing people aside. He patted Bull’s shoulder, and when
he didn’t respond right away, Kevin slapped him on the arm. Bull turned and
Kevin pointed. He knew Bull had seen what he saw. Bull stopped dancing and
pulled Zach along with him toward the DJ booth.
Kevin raced to the door back to the office area and put in
the code Bull had told them to use in case of an emergency.
The music suddenly stopped. “Everyone please exit the
building,” Bull said into the microphone that connected to the sound system.
“Don’t delay, just make for the nearest exit immediately. Security, open all
the doors right away.”
Kevin pulled open the door as light burst from the back
corner and flames began licking up the wall. Every time he’d entered the office
corridor, he’d passed the firehose on the wall, though he hadn’t really noticed
it until now.
“Fire!” someone cried, and screams rent the air. Kevin
propped the door open and grabbed the hose. He yanked it out behind him as he
raced back into the club. “Turn on the water,” he yelled to a man who passed
him. “Just follow the hose and turn it on now.” He hadn’t seen anyone he knew
and just had to hope the kid did as he asked. He continued racing through the
club, and the hose got heavier as it filled with water.
He stumbled and swore at the top of his lungs, pointing the
hose in the direction of the fire. Water sprayed everywhere, and he was damn
lucky he didn’t take anyone out with the force of the spray. He continued
moving toward the flames, spraying water on the walls. Instantly he was soaked.
Walls of steam rose from where the heat met the water. The flames had reached
the ceiling, but they died down fast. Kevin remembered being told in school that
when using a fire extinguisher to point it at the base of the flame, so he did
that here.
He coughed and angled his face away from the black smoke
that came off the fire, rolling along the ceiling of the club.
The flames flared up for a few seconds, and Kevin worried
that he’d done something wrong, but then they died pretty quickly, steam mixing
with the acrid smoke. It burned his eyes, but he blinked and continued spraying
the water.
Someone grabbed the hose and muscled him out of the way.
“Get out of here,” the guard, who Kevin recognized after a second, told him.
“I got this. You make sure everyone is safe.” Kevin wrenched
back the hose and continued what he was doing. He kept spraying water until it
ran over his feet, soaking his shoes, and the last of the fire was out. The
smoke was lessening and he could see better, even as the dampness soaked him to
the skin. When he saw no more fire activity, he turned off the water and
breathed a sigh of relief, his heart still pounding in his ears.
