Description

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Disaster comes a story of a fiercely independent war widow who falls for a protective hotshot firefighter in this gripping contemporary romance.

Widowed before thirty, Naomi Abrams has been through a lot. Her husband Matt sacrificed his life to save his Marine brothers. Daughter of the US modern militia’s founder, heartbroken Naomi joins the Marines in Matt’s place, too-ready to do anything to help protect his team—men who are like brothers to her now. Retiring together to the town of Colorado Springs, they’ve assembled to take on the job of security at the top-secret military base, the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. As they struggle to adjust to their civilian lives, they also discover new dangers.

Zeke Lund has been alone since being bumped out of the foster system at age eighteen, and now his rag-tag family consists of his hotshot brothers and sisters. Shattered by his first love, Zeke never planned to fall for someone again, especially not during fire season in the Colorado mountains, but Naomi is unlike anyone he’s ever met. She’s strong, stubborn, and takes exactly zero crap from anyone. At the top of a freezing canyon, the fire glowing down below, Zeke finally admits he may have feelings for the widow with the foul mouth and broken soul. When his health begins to fail, he wonders if he should love her enough to let her go or let her fight with him—with the real possibility of burying another man she loves.

Despite hurt, pain, fires, and illness, two strong people with fragile hearts struggle to beat the odds… and their love might just be strong enough to survive it all.

    I LOVE HOW SHE TIED IN THE MADDOX TWINS AND EVEN BROUGHT IN TRAVIS! My heart STOPPED when Travis was introduced, I love that series. A lot of people have mentioned the spelling errors throughout the novel, but it’s not like it takes away from the story? The story is interesting and I ended up finishing within a day, so in my opinion it is worth the read! Especially if you lied the author’s other novels.
  • Interesting read but some disappointments

    The plot was interesting! I liked Naomi and love going into the deeper stories of characters we met in the Maddox series. I was disappointed however because there were many grammatical errors and details and timelines that didn’t line up with the previous books and it just felt sloppy which definitely took away from the enjoyment of the book. It also caught me off guard because none of the previous Jamie McGuire books had such discrepancies so it was glaring. I also didn’t feel that Naomi and Zeke had as much chemistry or build as our previous couples BUT it was still a good read for a rainy Sunday!

    Well developed characters that you love and are rooting for. The book didn’t flow as well as her previous novels, at times seeming choppy or rushed. Hard to follow at times but I am glad I read it to continue the series.
