Pure Heat

The heat rises fast when the wildfire burns.

"Buchman writes with beauty and passion... The flames of passion burn brightly in this meticulously researched, hard-hitting, and suspenseful contemporary. Best 10 romance of the spring." - Publishers Weekly

Carly Thomas could read burn patterns before she knew the alphabet. A third-generation forest fire specialist who lost both her father and her fiancé to the flames, she's learned to live life like she fights fires: with her emotions shut down.

Former smokejumper Steve "Merks" Mercer can no longer parachute in to battle the fire, but he can still join the fight with his all-seeing drone.

When they take to the skies to battle the worst wildfire in decades and discover a terrorist threat hidden deep in the Oregon wilderness-it's the heat between them that truly sizzles.

"A heavy hitter and worth every minute." - Long and Short Reviews

"Like Robert Ludlum and Nora Roberts got together and had a book baby." - Parajunkee
