Synopsis (Goodreads):
Darcie Weatherby has a full plate—a preteen and sixteen-year-old twins, a wayward grandmother, a nightmare boss, and a manipulative ex-husband. The last thing she needs is hot flashes.

Especially ones that start fires.

But like most single mothers, Darcie sucks it up and deals with it, because what else can she do? The kids need to be fed, her grandmother needs supervising, and her demanding boss needs placating.

Burning her boss’s house down was a total accident.

Honest.

It doesn’t take long before Darcie realizes she’s running on borrowed time. Unless she figures out a way to get these hot flashes under control, there’s a very good chance she’ll spontaneously combust at the Founder’s Day Masquerade Ball and leave her children motherless. There’s no way in hell—or Perry’s Fall, Ohio—Darcie will let that happen.

Never underestimate the determination of a mother.

Especially a smokin’ hot one.
Thoughts on Let It All Burn: Being able to start fires...no, wait. Darcie isn't actually able to control her newfound ability when it first manifests. So maybe I should say accidentally starting fires is not the greatest when you're a single mom who might follow in her great-grandmother's footsteps and spontaneously combust if she can't figure things out. Fast.

The fact a sexy fed knows something is up with her, her ex is kind of a douchecanoe of the highest order, and the people who might be able to tell her something are being confoundingly tight lipped just makes things more interesting. Because the fed is hot, her ex will (likely) get what's coming to him some day, and secrets like to be told.

But first, Darcie has to figure out how to control her fire and why she's experiencing it now. And once she figures all that out, she'll need to figure out what her next step is. Because Darcie's not about to roll over and do the easy thing. She's going to keep her kids safe while fulfilling the destiny that's been handed to her and she's just going to do it her own dang way.
