From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Jewel E. Ann comes the exciting second novel in the Wildfire series, an emotional romance that burns up the page as it tugs at the heart.

When Maren Bernabe stops by the office to update some paperwork, she’s not looking for love. Then sparks fly during an awkward meet-cute with a stranger in the bathroom, and suddenly anything seems possible.

A seasoned air tanker pilot, Maren battles fires across the rugged Montana wilderness. With firefighters for roommates, she’s no stranger to tough guys—or tough situations. Ozzy Laster is the helpful stranger she meets, one of Cielo Aviation’s newest aircraft mechanics who’s faced his fair share of hardship too. Two years ago, his wife and father died in a car crash. Now Ozzy and daughter Lola shun cars in favor of bikes.

Maren and Ozzy fall hard, but guilt forces them to hide their relationship from Ozzy’s disapproving in-laws. And Lola. They all want to protect her from more heartbreak. But when tragedy strikes again, Lola’s reaction will surprise them all. And Ozzy could get a second chance at love after all…

Jewel E. Ann is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author. She’s written over thirty novels, including Look the Part, a contemporary romance; the Jack & Jill trilogy, a romantic suspense series; and Before Us, an emotional women’s fiction story.

Jewel is a free-spirited romance junkie with a quirky sense of humor. After her best friend of nearly thirty years suggested a few books from the contemporary romance genre, she was hooked. With ten years of flossing lectures under her belt, she took an early retirement from her dental hygiene career to stay home with her three awesome boys, manage the family business, and write mind-bending love stories. When she’s not donning her cape to save the planet one tree at a time, Jewel enjoys yoga with friends, good food with family, rock climbing with her kids, and of course…heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, panty-scorching novels. She’s living her best life in Iowa with her husband, three sons, and a goldendoodle.
