    About this ebook

    Ember Marx lives a pretty boring existence. She lives and works at the cabin rental agency that her mom owns and spends most days cleaning cabins or checking guests in. She dreams of getting out and seeing more of the world than just this small town where nothing ever happens but that would mean finding a way to free herself from her mother's tight clutches. She thinks that's impossible. Then she meets Weston. 

    Weston Xavier is only in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee to meet with a hotel developer. He's an investor and he's used to trusting his gut when it comes to big decisions. Five minutes in this sleepy town and he knows that this trip was a waste of his time. Pigeon Forge doesn't need another hotel, it needs more of a town. He can't wait to get back to his life in New York but then he walks into his rented cabin and finds a red-haired beauty. Suddenly, his predictable life is bursting with colors. 

    What happens when Weston finally convinces Ember to give him a chance? Fireworks.

    *Warning! This book alpha is over-the-top, head over heels in love with his girl. If you're looking for a steamy insta-love story then this book is for you!

      His Firework - Shaw Hart

      Chapter One

      Ember

      I strip the dirty sheet off of cabin twelve’s bed as I bop my head to the music blaring from the portable speaker. I’ve been up since 6 AM, cleaning cabins and checking out guests. My mom and I run a cabin rental agency up in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Most days, I don’t mind working here. I get to be in nature and for the most part, the work is easy. Then there are days like today, when I’m sick of being stuck here in this tiny town, with my mother. I want to travel and see the world, see more than just the view off this mountain.

      Unfortunately for me, we barely make enough money all year to keep this place running. Rumor has it that there’s some developers looking at building a resort nearby and if that happens, we’ll be out of business for sure. I’m not sure if I’m rooting for them to build it or not.

      I finish changing the sheets on the bed and throw the dirty ones on the back of the gator. I wipe down the kitchen counters and tidy up the throw pillows on the couch. I take one last look around cabin twelve before I walk out, locking the door behind me. I wipe my hands off on my cutoff jean shorts and tug down my worn t-shirt. My scuffed and worn tennis shoes kick up dirt on the path as I head to the gator parked outside the cabin.

      I hop up into the gator and head to cabin seven, the last cabin I have to clean today. I speed along the path and pull up in the little drive out front of the cabin. I hop out of the gator, making quick work of grabbing my supplies and the speaker before unlocking the door and getting to work.

      I’ve been cleaning the cabins for as long as I can remember and I have a pretty good method down now. My mom always says I’m lazy and a promiscuous girl. She thinks that by keeping me busy and working hard, I’ll be able to cure my evil ways. I want to roll my eyes at her every time she calls me lazy. I’ve been practically running this place since I was thirteen. If either of us is lazy, it’s her. She runs the desk while I clean the cabins in the morning. She spends the days answering the phone and watching soap operas.

      As far as being promiscuous, well, I don’t think her plan to work me to the bone is helping with that. I lay awake at night, touching myself and thinking up dirty fantasies. When I was fourteen, I found the romance section at the local library and I’ve been checking out books ever since. The library is pretty small and the romance section isn’t very big. I think I’ve read every book there at least four times.

      Lucky for her, and unfortunately for me, there’s no one in town that I have ever wanted to act out those fantasies with. The boys who live in town are just that, boys. They have no idea what they want to do with their lives or how to treat a girl. Their idea of a good date is going down to the local bar and shooting pool.

      I smile as I think about the last boy who asked me out. Pete is a good guy who works at the mechanic shop in town. He’s always been kind to me and we’ve hung out as friends before in school but he’s happy to settle down here on this mountain and never leave. He doesn’t understand my desire to get out of this place and see more of the world.

      I unlock cabin seven and set my speaker down on the kitchen counter, making my way into the bathroom to collect the used towels and hang up fresh ones. Luckily, cabin seven is only for two people instead of a family, like cabin twelve. It will only take me a quarter of the time to clean. I strip off the sheets on the queen size bed and throw everything in a pile by the front door. I plug the vacuum in and quickly do the
