About this eBook
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.

Between this book and "The Search," I was kept enthralled by the details, mystery, and suspense. I had some knowledge about the smoke jumpers, but obviously, Nora had research. Both are favorites, and I read them every couple of years. Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors. The variety is great, but some are dark, dark, dark! Especially if you don't like the vampire side of life. 🥺

I loved the characters esp Gull very cocky and funny makes the story
interesting and Rowan who's hard headed yet have a heart for others. All
the characters as well were different and great which makes it more
relistic. The book makes you hooked although has a slow beginning but once
you hit the twist of the story makes it even more interesting and making
you guess although some may already know.. But worth the time. Love it.

What a wonderful story about the brave people who jump fires for a living. One of the things I enjoy when I read NR is the fact that every story is different. Different places all over the world and different jobs that the characters hold. You can feel the heat when you read this book. Great details and descriptions. Oh and the romance is not bad either.
