About this audiobook
Some people run toward fire. Others read what it leaves behind. When smoke-jumper Jonah Cruz and forensic botanist Dr. Maren Voss collide in the ash fields above Ridgeline, California, neither is looking for anything but answers.
But the fires keep coming.
What begins as a single suspicious burn unravels into something darker — a coordinated arson scheme woven through land rights, timber greed, and the deliberate erasure of wilderness. Jonah lives by instinct and containment. Maren lives by evidence and distance. Together, they’re working a case that outruns them at every turn, in landscapes that smell of char and dry sage, under skies that never fully clear.
Slow burns are the most dangerous kind. They don’t announce themselves. They work quietly, at the edges, until everything has already changed.
Gripping, atmospheric, and achingly romantic, this is a love story told in smoke and silences — for readers who want their romance to earn every single degree of heat.
