Fight: A Firefighter Romance (Sky Ridge Hotshots Book 1)

Fight is the first book in the Sky Ridge Hotshots series. It follows a wildland firefighter captain who leads an interagency hotshot crew. Five years ago, he lost a crew member in a fire, an event that changed him fundamentally. Since then, he has maintained strict emotional distance, allowing himself only casual encounters with strangers. His carefully controlled life shifts when he meets Prescott Timmons, an EMT with a secretive past. Her intelligence and adventurous nature cause him to abandon his usual rules. However, when her past emerges, his own lies begin to feel uncomfortably familiar. He resolves to ignore her, but when she becomes trapped in a life-threatening situation with severe weather, his instincts override his resolve. Stranded together and forced to share close quarters, they must confront the truth between them and decide whether to pursue their connection or let it fade.
