Some of you might read this and think I'm arrogant, self-absorbed, lecherous and even a little heartless. I'm not. Not really. I am the woman that you pass on the street in broad daylight, and don't look twice at. I am the type you'd never even glance at for a second longer than is necessary. There is nothing special about me. There is nothing that sets me apart from the rest. I am not a golden girl; I don't shine or turn heads when I walk into a room. I am certainly not the kind of woman you'd find on the front page of magazines, not even in a corner on page 89. I am a Celeste Barber.That's what my ex-husband Michael said until I met Daniel, a fireman, and started playing with fire. BOOK 1PLAYING WITH FIREAlly Bradshaw is newly-single, and oppressed. That is, until she meets Daniel on the day her divorce is finalized.

Daniel becomes her drug, and addiction she was never ready for. She was besotted with her new one-night stands, until feelings got in the way, forcing her to set her sights on William, the new tenant in Daniel's building, and a cold as ice doctor.
