A taboo relationship...steamy passion...and secrets that can ruin everything.
Single father Gabriel Baystock is rich and powerful, educated and handsome – and helpless when it comes to ensuring his son Michael recovers fully from a childhood cancer. He’ll do anything, even hire award-winning child therapist Shai Bonaventura.
Shai is drawn to brooding, sexy Gabriel, and while she falls in love with the little boy she’s hired to help, she loses her heart to his father. Their powerful chemistry is off the charts hot, and Shai thinks he might be the one to help heal her own demons, even if it means crossing professional boundaries.
But when old secrets from Shai’s past are revealed, it’s not clear if their fragile relationship can survive the harsh reality of the real world…or whether they have the courage to fight for what they really need?
A Handful of Fire is a full-length stand-alone romance (about 80K words) with an HEA. It's a contemporary love story with a high heat level and gorgeous, poetic prose.

This is one of those books
that will grab you and won’t let go, even after you read it. It will stay with
you, its that good. The emotions in this book are deep, there is a lot of angst
but it isn’t too much, just enough to move with the story-- It was such a serious book with serious issues , that you keep reading because the
story draws you in, the characters have you so invested. I loved every moment
and hated when the book ended.
Shai is one, if not ,
the best children therapist around and she was hired by Gabriel
to his bitter and angry 10
year old son Michael whose cancer is in remission. Michael is one super smart kid, he did
calculus and had the vocabulary of a college student. Gabriel really , in the beginning had no
patience with his son’s outbursts or language with his father and there was a
lot of friction between them until Shai comes into their lives. Michael
connects with her and she is able to instantly get to him whereas Gabriel isn’t
at this point. She is trying to help them both reconnect and help Michael with
whatever is causing him pain and issues which also might help Gabriel with why
he has no patience with his own son.
This story shows not
only the pain of the son but the pain of the father and the anger and angst
that comes out of that. At times I DIDN’T LIKE Gabriel-he acted like a spoiled
child whereas Michael acted more grown up. Shai helped both of them with
their issues but Shai had things in
her past that she never let interfere with her work. Michael and Shai
developed such a beautiful bond that others saw and immediately
jumped to her crossing boundaries and tried to get her off Michael’s case,
which hurt Shai. She tried to pull back but she was so intertwined with both
father and son, she couldn’t. She was too attached and it was hard to pull away
until a misunderstanding caused a rift between Gabriel and Shai and there was a time that they
didn’t talk. I was soooooo angry at Gabriel. Does he repair that rift or will
he pull up his big boy pants and repair that most real relationship he has had
since his wife’s death?
This is one beautiful and
complex romance story that has several twists and turns that I didn’t see
coming. If you love romance stories like this, you will adore this book, like I
did.
My rating: 4.8 stars ****
