    About this ebook

    -a Firehawks Hotshots romance story-

    Wildfire engine driver Jill Conway-Jones loves driving the big engines, but her real goal is to get up close and personal with a fire, just like the Interagency Hotshots. She gets a little too close when a burning tree crashes onto her fire engine.

    Hotshot Jess Monroe loves the fire’s heat, but can’t seem to find a woman who sparks his own.  At least not until he arrives to rescue the driver of the shattered truck—just in time to watch her kick out the windshield.

    And that’s only the first turn on the Road to the Fire’s Heart.

      Road to the Fire's Heart - M. L. Buchman

      Road to the Fire’s Heart

      a Firehawks romance story

      by M. L. Buchman

      1

      Squinting her eyes didn’t help.

      Driving through pea soup would be easier.

      As usual, Trent made no comment. Instead, he leaned closer to the wheel and also squinted out at the wildfire’s thick smoke. He was trying to turn strong-silent type into a lifestyle as if that was a good thing. He also didn’t deal well with abstract things like metaphors. He was a reliable enough partner, just not the most flexible.

      A decent enough person, just kind of clueless and…such a guy. Despite his being two years older than her, she’d taken to thinking of herself as his big sister, taking care of him when he was being particularly ridiculous or pitiable without his even realizing it. His fire skills were good, so she didn’t have to fix that, he was simply a social train wreck and needed a bit of a buffer from the world at large.

      Jill Conway-Jones looked back out the windshield of their heavy-duty Type 4 wildfire engine—the big truck was only a year old and still shone despite her and Trent driving to several fires already this season. She wished she knew more about paintings so that she could say one of those educated sounding phrases about how the raging, fiery hell was so awful that only Matisse could have done it justice. But even as she thought it, she knew it was wrong. Her best friend from childhood was the hotshot New York City artist. Jill was just a hotshot.

      Actually, that’s what she wanted to be. At the moment she was a wildland firefighter and engine driver lost deep in the Cascade wilderness of who-knew-where central Washington. A wildfire engine driver, but it wasn’t even her turn to drive. Trent was at the wheel and all she could do was try to figure out where they were.

      US Forest Service fire road FS-273E was invisible, if that’s what they were still on. Smoke was pouring across the road in thick black billows. Showers of brilliant orange sparks lit ash swirls from within as they blew by in vast clouds like the Monarch butterflies she’d once seen rising from a field of milkweed—a cloud of orange and black so thick that they seemed to block the sun.

      Not that the sun was still aloft. She double-checked her watch, sunset should still be purpling the sky, but being deep within the steep mountains to all sides and the heavy smoke filling the valley, it was full night here. Wherever here was.

      The headlights punched only a few feet into the smoke before reflecting back like high beams in fog.

      They’d left the Stehekin River Valley Road what seemed hours ago. They were supposed to be delivering their seven hundred and fifty gallons of water to a beleaguered crew high up on Tolo
