Feel the Fire Annabeth Albert

The third installment of Annabeth Albert's Hotshots series--the emotions and intensity of Chicago Fire with the raw, natural elements of Man vs. Wild. When their career paths bring two high school sweethearts together again, the forest isn't the only thing ablaze.

Fire-behavior specialist Luis Riviera goes where his job takes him. But when he is assigned to an arson investigation in Central Oregon--the place he left his broken heart twenty years ago--he's afraid of being burned all over again.

Tucker Ryland had planned to join his first love, Luis, in Los Angeles after high school graduation, but life got in the way. Now a fire-management expert and a divorced father of teen twins, Tucker is thrown for a loop when he finds himself working side by side with his Luis, now all grown up and more intriguing than ever.

Though consumed by a grueling fire season and family responsibilities, the two men discover their bond has never truly broken. Tentative kisses turn to passionate nights. But smoking sheets aside, old hurts and new truths stand in the way of this time being the start of forever.
