Up in Flames by Kay Gordon

Kelly Gold has always been an optimistic person when it came to romance. Having the perfect family, she grew up watching her parents show her and her sister exactly how a marriage should be. It would only make sense that she’d want that for herself. Instead of finding her prince, however, she finds several frogs and each seems slimier than the last.
Nick Christos doesn’t do relationships. While people assume that his lack of commitment is because he enjoys playing the field, his reason is anything but. Falling in love with someone can’t be on his agenda, no matter how much he wants it to be.

A year after meeting each other, Kelly and Nick’s friendship is cemented and both would do anything for the other. When one night changes absolutely everything, Nick asks Kelly for a favor that could unlock the door to his future. This one favor has the potential to blow up in their faces when they are both forced to face the deeper feelings they may have for one another.
In the midst of it all, they’ll encounter hurdles that threaten everything they’ve built. Coming to terms with their feelings, learning how to trust one another, and deciding just exactly what they want in the future is much easier said than done.

When it feels like everything is burning around them, will they be reduced to ashes?
