Once Burned (Firehouse Fourteen Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
He knew Kayla was home: her Jeep was parked next to the barn and he could hear noise coming from inside, muffled and faint. He bounced from one foot to the other and blew on his closed hands, trying to get some warmth circulating in his limbs. The day was gray and damp, typical for early November.

The other one was partially closed with swelling, the flesh distorted and discolored.

Her words were quiet and strained, like she had been forced awake after a long nap. Or been resurrected from the dead.
