"This affable May-December romance delivers all the well-developed characterization and sensual love scenes Albert’s fans expect." —Publishers Weekly
Annabeth Albert’s Hotshots series continues—the emotions and intensity of Chicago Fire with the raw, natural elements of Man vs. Wild.
Smoke jumping is Garrick Nelson’s life. Nothing, not severe injuries nor the brutal physical therapy that follows, is going to stop him from getting back with his crew. But when a lost dog shows up on his front porch, he can’t turn her away, and he can’t take care of her on his own. Thankfully, help comes in the form of his new sexy, dog-loving neighbor. As they work together, trying to re-home their little princess, Garrick can’t resist his growing attraction for the other man, even though he knows this guy isn’t the staying type.
Rain Fisher doesn’t take anything too seriously. He dances through life, one adventure at a time, never settling in one place for too long. When his hot, conveniently buff, neighbor shows up on his doorstep, dog in tow, Rain’s determined to not just save the adorable puppy, but her reluctant owner as well. He never expects their flirtation might tempt him into stay put once and for all...
Danger lurks everywhere for Central Oregon’s fire crews, but the biggest risk of all might be losing their hearts.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The heartfelt second entry in Albert's Hotshot series (after Burn Zone) fans the flames of attraction between smoke jumper Garrick Nelson and aspiring firefighter Rain Fisher, a man Garrick thinks of as a "hippie veggie kid fond of pink pony shirts" and, he'll later discover, lacy underwear. The guys get their requisite meet cute when Rain helps Garrick take in an injured stray dog, Cookie. As Rain assists Garrick, who has a spinal injury from a smoke jumping accident, in caring for Cookie, Garrick helps Rain, who hopes to join a hotshot firefighter crew, get into shape. The slow development of their bond is sweet and sexy, culminating in a steamy hot tub encounter. But their budding relationship is threatened as Garrick grapples with insurance woes and the reality of his condition, and Rain considers a dream job elsewhere. Albert again turns a spotlight on issues of communication and trust, but she also emphasizes mutual care and pleasure, making Garrick and Rain an easy couple to root for. This affable May-December romance delivers all the well-developed characterization and sensual love scenes Albert's fans expect.
