Blood, Sweat, and Flame by J.F. Penn

Is victory worth blood, sweat, and flame?

Cass blows glass for a living — but when she’s not cranking out tourist pieces to pay the bills, she creates unique glass art with the dream of winning a prestigious award that might just change her life.

But Cass has a problem.

The heat and intensity of the glassblowing hot shop have damaged her eyesight — and time is running out.

She only has one chance left to win and a rival artisan stands in her way, the trophies on his shelf testament to his enduring popularity.

When his son comes to work alongside Cass, she must make a choice that will change their lives.

A choice that will cost Blood, Sweat, and Flame.
