Firehawks Smokejumpers

Johnny Akbar Jepps, lead smokejumper for Mount Hood Aviation, is always first out of the plane, first into the fire, and first with the ladies. But the one thing he never puts on the line? His heart. Until he meets a woman who gallops away with it. Laura Jenson, wilderness guide and expert horsewoman, leads tourists from the Mount Hood Timberline Lodge into the wilds of Oregon. She knows the game and has no interest in some lady-killing, full-of-himself smokejumper. Not until Johnny lights her heart on fire. They both risk everything without getting burned in the Wildfire at Dawn.

Tim Harada, a lead smokejumper at MHA in Oregon, visits home - the quirky little town of Larch Creek, Alaska. The streets are named for Jack London books; the pickup trucks are all blue; and the residents are all too familiar, specifically Macy Tyler, helicopter pilot. Tim still sees her as his best friend’s kid sister. Before he leaves again, she must convince the guy she’s loved all her life that during his absence she transformed herself into a beautiful, competent woman.

Krista Thorson, number-two smokejumper with Mount Hood Aviation’s elite team, parachutes into wildfires for a living. Too tall, too big, too strong, she never fit in...except on the fireline. Her past lost, her future uncertain, Krista fights for the present. Special Forces veteran Evan Greene jumps fire to avoid facing his past. Some memories are too painful. Evan’s policy? Bury and move on.... Until Krista unearths what he most wants to forget. No half-measures win this firefight. Together, they must face their pasts before their love burns away in the wildfire on the Skagit.
