Judgments of Fire and Desire

Losing her father to the 9/11 terrorist attack at the tender age of three has Genesis Farris longing for what she feels is missing. Being that her mother never remarried or even introduced another man into their lives, it made her that much more curious about what it was like to be loved by one. She’s always wanted to know and experience what was so special or significant about a man’s love, but she was far from the point of desperation. Just from the stories she’d heard about her father, she knew that he wanted what was best for her, so she refused to settle for less.

While on the job as one of the most decorated firefighters in her city, she comes face-to-face with who she believes will be the man to school her on all the things she is ignorant about. The situation is extremely dangerous, and she’s hoping the attraction isn’t simply a trauma bond. She doesn’t plan to waste time on something that won’t have the potential to be permanent. Judge Patrick isn’t a man that easily accepts rejection, but Genesis knows her worth and refuses to accept anything less, regardless of status and prestige.

Kyrie Patrick is an educated man who believes in pulling yourself up by the bootstraps to get the things you want and deserve. He’s the youngest judge in the state and the first black judge from his hometown to ever be elected to office. Those facts have Kyrie thinking more highly of himself than he should and that ruffles some people’s feathers.

While he would love to have a woman to share his life and all of his successes with, he isn’t in a hurry. He didn’t have the greatest example of how a man should love a woman growing up, so he is learning on the fly. He believes the love of his life will eventually cross his path if fate has its way.

Although sparks fly between Genesis and Kyrie, they chalk it up to their emotions being high and their traumatic vulnerability due to the situation. Commonality brings them closer, causing them to reevaluate their chemistry. Will they be able to tread through the dangers faced and get beyond their own vices and insecurities to establish something special, or will they choose to cut their losses and focus their efforts on their individual safety, careers, and futures?
