About

I never intended to set foot in Smoky Heights again.

But when I learn my mom has less than a year to live, I swallow my pride and return to help her through her final months. My plan is simple: stay focused, avoid the past, and most importantly, steer clear of Wyatt Grady—my first love and the person I hurt the worst when I left.

But fate has other ideas. One unfortunate encounter is all it takes to remind me that the chemistry between us is as electric as ever, reigniting old desires and emotions I thought I’d buried for good. What starts as a reluctant reunion quickly turns into something far more complicated. Before I know it, we’re in too deep, with a pact to keep things strictly physical.

Soon enough, he’s becoming the best part about my visit to this small mountain town we both grew up in. All we need to do is keep feelings out of the equation, but as old sparks reignite, that becomes harder and harder to stick to, and I can’t help wondering if I made the wrong choice all those years ago.

Rekindling the Flame is a touching story of redemption, rekindled love, and the power of forgiveness. It is a standalone with a happily ever after, and 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.
