Spotlight & Giveaway: Ignite by Emma Renshaw

Today, HJ is pleased to share with you Emma Renshaw’s new release: Ignite

One night changed an entire town.

 
One girl changed my entire life.

After she left without saying goodbye, I never expected to see her again.

The fire that changed Hawk Valley was my first night on the job. She was my first save as a firefighter. But she wasn’t the first to walk out of my life without looking back.
She was just another number on that list.

I grew used to putting out sparks in my personal life, too. But when she came back, I couldn’t stop myself from chasing after her. Just a fling, we said. But where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

Of all people, I should have known that. It could never be casual with us. It was always going to become an inferno.

Until someone else put out the fire.

A portion of Emma Renshaw’s first week proceeds will be donated to the ALS Association in honor of George Gallegos, Emma’s uncle who died of ALS in February of 2019.

Enjoy an exclusive excerpt from Ignite 

“If everyone you want to talk to is here, why do you want to leave Hawk Valley?”
I frowned, looking down at my shot of tequila. I picked it up. My heart twinged at the thought of leaving, but it cracked in half remembering the faces of the classmates I’d lost. “This isn’t home anymore,” I said. This was the most honest thing I’d said to him. It was my turn to ask him a question, but first I needed that shot of tequila.
“Ready?”
“Lick. Sip. Suck,” he said with a wicked grin on his face. Those three little words sounded downright sinful coming from his full mouth.
We licked the salt, tossed back the shots of tequila, and sucked on the limes. I put the glass back on the bar and, looking him firmly in the eye, I placed my hand on his chest. “Want to come home with me?”
Ridge cupped the back of my neck, his fingers sliding into my hair, and raised my face to his to place his lips on mine. My fingers curled into his shirt as his tongue swept into my mouth. He broke the kiss, our breaths mingling, as he leaned his forehead against mine.
“Yes.” Ridge grabbed my hand and led me out of the party. I caught Makenna’s eye on the way out the door. She shot me a wink and waved her fingers. I trailed behind Ridge as we worked our way through the sea of bodies.
He led me to his truck, pushed me against the side, and gripped my hips tightly, leaning his body against mine. “Are you sure? I need to hear you say it. Once I start, I won’t want to stop. I will if you want me to stop, but fuck, Zoe. I’ve kissed you three fucking times, and I already crave your taste. I’m dying to have more and to know every inch of your body.”
“Yes, I’m sure,” I whispered. “Just one night,” I added. I knew if I continued this it would be too hard to walk away. One kiss from Ridge, and my entire body had ignited, begging for his hands to be on my body and touch me. Lick. Sip. Suck. Just like a shot of tequila.
“One night,” he agreed, pressing into my body harder and slamming his lips into mine. I hitched my leg on his waist, grinding against his hard cock. “Let’s go.”
He stepped away, sweeping his eyes over me, and opened the passenger door. I hopped in and he shut the door, jogging around to the driver’s side.
“Do you know how to get to Delilah’s family’s inn?”
“Yes.” He started up his truck and headed in that direction. His calloused, work-roughened hand rested on my thigh, and thoughts about what his touch would feel like all over my body raced through my mind. The drive back to the cabin was mostly spent in silence, with sexual tension crackling between the two of us.
I jumped out of the truck before he had a chance to open my door, and I guided him through the paths to my cabin. He grabbed my hand and tugged me against his body, wrapping his arms around me from behind. I tilted my neck as he brushed my hair to the side, and I fumbled with the keys to open the door. His tongue traced the side of my neck and kissed the spot behind my ear.
I flung open the door, turned around in his arms, and wound my fingers into his hair, pulling his lips to mine. Ridge kicked the door closed, lifting me into his arms, and held me as he crashed back onto the bed. I straddled his waist, my core landing perfectly on his hardness. Ridge trailed his hands up my arms and pulled down the straps of my dress, baring my strapless bra to him.
I sat up, unhooking the bra and letting it fall away; then I flung it aside. His breath hitched, and his hands coasted up my torso to my breasts. He took them in his hands and brushed his thumbs over my hardened nipples. I moaned as he tugged them and laid kisses across my chest. I sat up and straddled his lap.
“You’re even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined.”
He sucked a nipple into his mouth, wrapping his tongue around the point then grazing his teeth over it. I ground against him, wanting more. I wanted it go slowly, and I wanted it to speed up. I lifted his shirt from his body and unbuckled his belt.
Ridge worked my dress down my hips then flipped me onto the bed. I lifted my body as he pulled off the dress. His belt and the button on his jeans were open, but his zipper was still up. I licked my lips looking at the expanse of his chest and the peaks and valleys of his abs. Inch by inch he peeled my panties down my legs. He stood up to take off his jeans.
I was completely naked and, for the first time in my life, I wasn’t shy about that fact. I spread my legs, my fingers wandering down my stomach to my pubic bone to my clit. Ridge stopped taking off his jeans, his breath picking up in speed, as he watched my hand.
“Fuck,” he groaned. Ridge shoved his jeans down the rest of the way, palming his long, hard cock, and he stroked himself, watching me. He placed a knee between my open thighs and brushed my hand to the side, leaning over and placing a kiss on my knee. He trailed kisses all the way down to the apex of my thighs, skipping over my center, and continued licking and kissing on the other leg. I thrusted my hips and he chuckled against my skin, kissing his way back to my center.
One finger trailed over my slit, circled my clit, and slid down to my entrance. He pushed his finger inside me and I moaned. “Please, Ridge.”
“Fuck, you’re fucking wet. And tight.” The last word was mumbled as he sucked my clit into his mouth and placed another finger into me. His tongue was in rhythm with his fingers, pulsing in and out and tapping against my g-spot. He removed his fingers and replaced them with his tongue. My hand shot out, grabbing his hair. One large hand held me down on the bed as he licked. Sipped. And sucked. I was panting and afraid this was a dream. I thought I’d had good sex before, but it was nothing compared to the way he made me feel with his mouth.
His head came up and he rubbed my clit with his fingers. “Once may not be enough,” he said and dropped his mouth back to my waiting pussy, thrusting his fingers into me and sucking on my clit.
