INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The latest in the TikTok sensation and deliciously “swoonworthy” (Elena Armas, New York Times bestselling author) Maple Hills series follows two summer camp counselors who reconnect after a sizzling one-night stand.
Maple Hills students Russ Callaghan and Aurora Roberts cross paths at a party celebrating the end of the academic year, where a drinking game results in them having a passionate one-night stand. Never one to overstay her welcome (or expect much from a man), Aurora slips away before Russ even has the chance to ask for her full name.
Imagine their surprise when they bump into each other on the first day of the summer camp where they are both counselors, hoping to escape their complicated home lives by spending the summer working. Russ hopes if he gets far enough away from Maple Hills, he can avoid dealing with the repercussions of his father’s gambling addiction, while Aurora is tired of craving attention from everyone around her, and wants to go back to the last place she truly felt at home.
Russ knows breaking the camp’s strict “no staff fraternizing” rule will have him heading back to Maple Hills before the summer is over, but unfortunately for him, Aurora has never been very good at caring about the rules. Will the two learn to peacefully coexist? Or did their one night together start a fire they can’t put out?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The summer heat index hits a record high in Hannah Grace’s red-hot romance. College students Russ and Aurora figured their post-drinking-game hookup was a one-off event—until they showed up at the same summer camp to work as counsellors. Faced with a strict “no fraternization” rule, the pair are pushed into the friend zone, but containing summer lovin’ is easier said than done. Grace gets the sparks flying quickly, and the steaminess builds alongside the character development. We instantly empathized with the family issues facing both of our would-be lovers, especially the shame Russ carries about his father’s uncontrolled gambling and Aurora’s dealings with her overly critical mother. We adore a love story where emotional support is just as important as sexual combustibility. The deeper Russ and Aurora go, the brighter Wildfire burns with the unforgettable passion of a life-altering summer romance.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The second new adult romance in bestseller Grace's Maple Hill series (after Icebreaker) moves out of the hockey rink and into the sunshine for an intoxicating love story between two summer camp counselors. The notorious University of California, Maple Hills hockey team throws an end-of-year party where students Russ Callaghan and Aurora Roberts meet and take part in a raunchy drinking game, leading to a steamy one-night stand. Aurora, who's skeptical of both love and men, leaves in the middle of the night without so much as a goodbye kiss. To their surprise, the two are soon reunited at their summer job at Honey Acres camp, where their intense chemistry reignites. There's just one problem: the strict rule against staffers "fraternizing" with one another. Can this combustible duo really keep things strictly professional? Grace writes charmingly flirtatious dialogue for the couple, making their connection palpable, and gives their romance a perfect balance of heat, emotion, and fun. Both characters are further rounded out by family issues that they're using their summer jobs to avoid. Russ and Aurora are a hard couple not to root for.
