Publisher Description

In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Nora Roberts delves into the world of elite firefighters who thrive on danger and adrenaline—men and women who wouldn’t know how to live life if it wasn’t on the edge.

Little else in life is as dangerous as fire jumping. But there’s also little else as thrilling—at least to Rowan Tripp. Being a Missoula smoke jumper is in Rowan’s blood: her father is a legend in the field. At this point, returning to the wilds of Montana for the season feels like coming home—even with reminders of the partner she lost last season still lingering in the air.

One of the best of this year’s rookie crop, Gulliver Curry is a walking contradiction, a hotshot firefighter with a big vocabulary and a winter job at a kids’ arcade. And though Rowan, as a rule, doesn’t hook up with other smoke jumpers, Gull is convinced he can change her mind...

But everything is thrown off balance when a dark presence lashes out against Rowan, looking to blame someone for last year’s tragedy. Rowan knows she can’t complicate things with Gull—any distractions in the air or on the ground could be lethal. But if she doesn’t find someone she can lean on when the heat gets intense, her life may go down in flames.

"I was fascinated by this story of forest fire rangers! It was amazing and again I love my strong woman characters! She is amazing and Roberts crafts this story so well. She really did her research and it made this story one I could not put down!"

    " Not one of Nora Roberts' best--the characters felt a little shallow and the "suspenseful" ending was predictable--but it's an enjoyable light read. "

    " I appreciated the finally drawn detail of a smoke jumpers life, the heroines strength and intelligence as well as the equality between the hero and heroine. The characters were fully drawn and three dimensional and those are the elements that carried the book for me. "
