Susannah is out to prove that pyrotechnics genius Quinn Baldwinis responsible for a million-dollar fireworks catastrophe during a Mardi Gras ball. With her faithful black Lab Monty she moves to the charming backwater city of Mobile, Alabama to uncover the truth. But this world-traveled military brat with a string of letters behind her name finds herself wholly unprepared to navigate the cultural quagmires of the Deep South. Captivated by the warmth and joy of her new circle of friends, Susannah struggles to keep from falling for a subject who refuses to be anything but a man of integrity, compassion, and lethal Southern charm. Fireworks offers a glimpse into heart of the South and a cynical young woman's first encounter with Christ-like love.

Beth's foray into the world of publishing began with a young adult romance written while her son was a baby. When that book failed to find a publisher, she joined Romance Writers of America and within two years landed a contract with Tyndale House. Fourteen books later, she continues to dream up happy endings with faith, warmth and a golden glint of humor. Look for her on the Web at www.elizabethwhite.net
