Book Name: Secret Fire (Uniform Encounters 5)
Author Name: Morticia Knight
Author Bio: M/M Erotic Romance author Morticia Knight enjoys a good saucy tale – after all, who doesn’t? Since she loves several genres, you may find your heroes in a contemporary, historical, paranormal or sci-fi setting. One of her passions is bringing people’s fantasies to life on the page, because life is too short for even one boring moment. Her stories are volcanic in heat, deep in emotion, and sprinkled with doses of humor.
When not indulging in her obsession for books, she loves the outdoors, film and music. The Pacific Northwest is the ideal spot to enjoy both hiking and beachcombing. Once upon a time she was the singer in an indie rock band that toured the West Coast and charted on U.S. college radio. She now resides on the northern coast of Oregon, where the constant rain and fog remind her of visits to family in England and Scotland when she was a child.
She is currently working on the Gin & Jazz series about the glitz and glamour of 1920’s Hollywood and additional installments of the Uniform Encounters series, with a new series about those luscious men in uniform coming out later this year.

Blurb:
Police officer Zach and Fire Marshal Daryl would be perfect together—if they would ever quit fighting long enough to find out. A devastating fire and the secret behind it almost keeps them from getting what they really need—each other.
Mesa police officer Zach is a fun-loving guy. Now that he’s hit the big three-oh, he’s looking to stop the hook-up train and find someone he can get serious about. When a mutual friend suggests Fire Marshal Daryl, Zach assumes he must be joking. The surly marshal has given cranky a new meaning. It’s unfortunate, though, since he is one fine-looking man.
Daryl has sworn off relationships ever since he caught his ex-partner cheating. He’s always taken everything in life seriously—from jobs to relationships—and is afraid he might be alone in that regard. Certain he can’t risk love again, he panics when he sees his secret crush Zach approaching him at a police versus firemen softball game. He’s nervous, as he is socially challenged with a tendency to blurt out the wrong things. It gets worse when he realises their shared buddy gave Zach a push. He assumes that Zach is only talking to him out of pity.
Zach has been pissed off at Daryl ever since they got into a verbal sparring match at the park. Yet, when Daryl comes to his aid during an explosive fire, Zach wonders what secrets might be hidden beneath the layers Daryl has built to protect himself from the world—and love. A night of passion turns into the possibility of something more as they struggle to find their way to one another. But all of that is threatened when there is a devastating fire that causes many people to lose their lives. As they work together to uncover the truth, someone thinks they’ve asked too many questions—and plans to stop them before they can ask any more.
Excerpt:
The crackle of plastic and the snick of a cap made Zach open his eyes again. Daryl held the bottle of lube and Zach figured Daryl had probably decided to forgo the whole edging thing and move straight to the main feature. He watched as Daryl poured the liquid in his palm, then rubbed his hands together. Daryl made no further move to get a condom or remove his own clothing.
Okaaaay…
Gently and with barely any pressure, Daryl wrapped his fingers around Zach’s stiff flesh. From the base to just below the mushroomed head of his dick, Daryl stroked evenly, leisurely. Zach made an attempt to thrust into Daryl’s fist, but with his legs imprisoned, it was impossible.
“Mmmm. You are mighty fine, Zach. Mighty fine.”
His breathing increased and a flush went to his face. Tiny beads of sweat formed as he fought against the restrictions that prevented him from aiding in his sexual release. It was apparent that Daryl had no intention of backing down from his promise of taunting and teasing him. It was too slow, much too slow.
Zach moaned. “Please…”
“Please what?”
“This is killing me.”
“You said you wanted to play.”
“Y-yeah, I know. But can’t we count the five hours before this when I was already hard for you? That seemed pretty edgy.”
Daryl circled the tip of Zach’s cock, then went back to the gentle stroking. Zach whimpered.
“Sorry. I don’t think so. I was suffering right along with you so that makes us even.”
“Holy…fuck, I don’t think I can take it.”
Daryl leant down to get close to Zach’s ear, his hand still encircling Zach’s shaft, his body pressing him down.
“Oh, you’ll take it. And you’ll love it.”
