The Sewing Shop is a new feel-good romance book for 2021. It’s the second book in the Sewing, Crafts & Quilting series of books. It can be read as a standalone book, or as part of the series. Includes a Sewing Shop embroidery pattern.

Story:
Iona, a quilter, goes to the Scottish Highlands to work in the local village quilt shop during the summer. It’s a temporary job, selling beautiful quilts, lovely fabric, yarn and embroidery kits, and helping with the sewing bee.

Iona isn’t looking for romance, but when she meets the mystery man owner of the new Sewing Shop, he’s attracted to her, but is she interested in him? Or is Kier, the rich and handsome flower grower, the man for her? Or perhaps Gairn, the baker and budding chocolatier?

The new sewing shop owner is an expert quilter, and inherited the old-fashioned sweetie shop that he’s now opened as a sewing shop to sell his quilts and fabric.

Knowing that this is only a summer job, Iona is reluctant to have the hot summer fling that the sewing bee ladies encourage her to enjoy. But as the summer hots up, Iona wonders if the man for her, and a happy future in the Highlands, could be waiting for her here.

In this feel–good romance there’s quilting, sewing, embroidery, handsome men, mystery and mischief, friendship and fun and vintage dresses galore.

The strong sexy women and smoking hot men who fight fires are written by a lady who knows from personal experience. A fiery page-turning read. ~~ Kat Martin, New York Times bestselling author.

Cinematically plotted in a spectacular, dangerous setting…smoldering passion where fire isn’t the ONLY heat. ~~Cherry Adair, New York Times bestselling author.

In this award-winning story, can a chance encounter on a wildfire lead to true love under a midnight sun? In the adrenaline-fueled world of wildland firefighting, Tara Waters battles flames and grief. Her dream of joining an elite hotshot crew in Montana falls beyond her reach when she’s reassigned to Alaska. A chance encounter with smokejumper Ryan O’Connor ignites more than just a spark—it erupts into a full-blown conflagration.

As Tara grapples with the aftermath of a line of duty death, Ryan becomes her anchor. Yet, behind his undeniable charm lurks a darkness that threatens to consume them both. When a sinister force sabotages Tara on the job, the flames of danger burn hotter than ever. It’s a threat more perilous than any wildfire, and as Tara fights for her life, she’s also fighting for a love that could be extinguished before it ignites.

In a world where survival is not only about battling flames, Tara and Ryan navigate a treacherous landscape of romance, fire, and sabotage. Can they find out who is targeting them while keeping their lives and love intact? One thing is for certain: in this deadly mix of passion and peril, the line between love and danger blurs, and only the fearless will emerge unscathed.

My real firefighting adventures when I fought Wildland Fire in the Alaskan Wilderness!

Aerial Firefighting on an Alaskan Interior Fire.

The pilot helped us out with his plane, “Jaws” when our crew became trapped by a runaway fire. He dumped a load of fire retardant next to us to buy us time to scramble out of there. This red gel slows fire, making it hard to ignire vegetation once it’s coated. Now Phos-Check is used. We always called it mud or slurry, as in, “Get clear, mud drop!”

After a Day on the Fireline

My crew boss shot this after we’d hiked six miles from the fireline back to base camp. No roads on Alaskan Interior fires, you’re either dropped off by helicopter or you hike in to the fireline and back out again, hauling all your gear and tools, like chainsaws and Pulaskis. I was so tired and hungry, my crew boss was trying to make me smile…Yeah, right, buddy.

Our Illustrious Wildland Fire Crew at the Alaska Fire Service

I had the good fortune to work with a fantastic group of people from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in Alaska. Our crew consisted of people from Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Glennallen, Alaska. I had to work hard to keep up with them!

Lighting a Backburn

When weather and wind cooperate, a good strategy to slow an out of control fire is to create a wide fireline, or fuel break, by removing all trees and brush, a good distance in front of the main fire. Our goal was to starve the fire of fuel, which is trees and other vegetation. When we lit the vegetation on fire, it burned back toward the main fire, slowing it so we could contain it.
