"Who knew where being best would lead?"

Sabrina Selwyn, an award winning actress, had spent years getting her life back together. A tragic fire on the set of the daytime drama show her family created had left scars both physically and mentally. Her fiancé left her and her family had basically left her on her own to recover. While on one of her many visit to the hospital, she accidentally runs down a patient in the hallway. Later when she is able to apologize she meets Brian Richards. Over the next few years they became best friends.

Brian had never met anyone like Sabrina. He realized that being a member of the famous Selwyn family she should have developed the usual attitude of other high level entertainers. But she was fresh, open with her feelings, and before long he was hooked. Over the next few years Sabrina recovered and in making the climb back to full health, become a writer as well as a star on Broadway. Now it was up to him to convince her to go back to the daytime drama where it had all started.

Sabrina is totally against going back, but Brian convinces her to give it a try for twelve weeks. Brian feels she needs to deal with all the feelings that have been simmering under the surface since the fire. Sabrina realizes that her family needs her to help save the show, but what about seeing David? When he left her because of her scars, she had hoped to never to see him again. Finally she agrees but only if she can stay at Brian's apartment for the duration. How hard can it be to be roommates with your best friend? Only time will tell.

BURNING DESIRES is a skillfully written tale with well developed characters. It's an extremely hot read. I loved Sabrina's struggles to become who she is. Brian's strengths and love really carried the story. Their romance as it developed is delightful. Highly recommend.

Rated Hard R. Sexually explicit scenes.
