Rekindling the Flame
About
She swore she’d never go back to her hometown. He’s spent the last twelve years praying she would.
When Aurora Weiss moved away from Smoky Heights in the middle of the night without a goodbye, she thought nothing could ever bring her back. Until her mother gets diagnosed with a terminal illness, and this is her final chance to make things right.
Determined to help her only parent through her last months, Aurora settles into the small mountain town she ran away from with two goals. One, avoid her first love, Wyatt Grady, and two, give her mother as much life as possible between now and the end.
But when she runs into Wyatt on her first day back in town, nothing goes as planned. While every other person in town hates her for leaving, her ex—the one person who should hate her the most—seems to be the only one who doesn’t. Wyatt quickly becomes her anchor as she grapples with facing the destruction of her past, and a painful future without her mother, or ever finding another love like her first.
As much as Aurora couldn’t wait to get home to the big city when she first arrived back in town, time moves all too quickly once she’s there, and she only has so many moments left with the only people she’s ever loved. Can she right all her wrongs while she still has the chance? Or will old sparks reignite and burn down everything she’s trying to rebuild?
Rekindling the Flame is a standalone with a happily ever after and can be read on its own, or as book one in the Smoky Heights series. It is a story about second chances and it has enough spice to start a food truck.

I absolutely love this book. I don’t know how many times I’ve laughed out loud, how many times I cried. Madison really mastered the art of shredding your soul and then masterfully sewing it back together 💜 Aurora and Wyatt are one of my favorite duos of all time!!
Honestly, second chance was never my favorite trope, until this book. This story, the banter, the heartbreak, the spice 💋💋 I love this book so much!
Could not put this book down for anything😭 I’ve never cried so many happy tears over a book in my life but here we are on a 12 hour work shift😂 this is probably my favorite read of the year so far honestly. The plot of the story was amazing and very very well written. (The spice was also great too😭) I need moreeeee
MADISON.. Miss girl…you 👏🏻 have 👏🏻 outdone 👏🏻 yourself!! 👏🏻 This book hit ALL the feels... ALL OF THEM. I will be ✨impatiently✨ waiting for the 2nd in this series... I will NEVER get over Wyatt Grady... EVER. 😮💨
MISS MADISON I DIDNT KNOW WHO YOU WERE BEFORE THIS BOOK BUT I SURE AM GLAD I KNOW YOU NOW. This book was 100% 1 of my top 5 this year. The amount of feelings I felt reading this ARC is CRAZY. I have never so badly wanted to be a character in this book in the background watching all the shit go down. I was so hooked reading this bad boy I was trying to figure out how to read in my SLEEP. God Wyatt Grady I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HIM I WOULD, and Rory Weiss you may have your flaws but which one of us doesn’t it? Them together I never knew I needed something so badly in my life. The rollercoaster of amends that was made through the book and the memory lane that was taken had me in TEARS. Also if he isn’t Wyatt Grady I DONT WANT HIM. I’ll leave yall with this quote and go about me business, “if it wasn’t you, it wasn’t anyone”
This story was the unexpected remedy to the book hangover I've been dealing with for the last month! Witty, sweet, heartbreaking, but ultimately caused me to keep a full tally of the number of times I legitimately laughed out loud! (It was 13, btw)
It was everything I ever loved about so many Nora Roberts books and more. There's nothing quite like going back to your hometown and reconnecting with the first love of your life.
