About the book
Hero: Asher La Rouge, CEO of La Rouge Vineyards and a volunteer wildland firefighter
Heroine: Evelyn "Evie" Thornton, a woman running from her past
A firefighter CEO. A woman running from her past. One wildfire — and an arson charge that could destroy them both.
Evelyn Thornton is running from her past. All she wants is to disappear. Instead, she's caught in a raging wildfire — and when the smoke clears, a shoddy arson investigation points the finger at her.
Asher La Rouge has been burned before. By his ex-girlfriend. By the demands of running La Rouge Vineyards. And now by the wildfire threatening the wine harvest — his family's livelihood. The eldest of the infamous La Rouge triplets, CEO by day and volunteer woodland firefighter when the flames rise, Asher rushes into the inferno expecting to save his vines. The last thing he expects to find is a beautiful woman struggling to survive.
When sparks fly between them, they ignite a firestorm too strong to resist. But with Evelyn implicated in setting the blaze, Asher must prove her innocence.
