The Ignition Point: A Steamy Australian Wilderness Romance

By Sarah Maestro

The heat in the Blue Mountains isn't just in the air-it's waiting for a spark.

At fifty, Rachel Sterling is one of the top fire ecologists in New South Wales. From her isolated glass watchtower high above the Grose Valley, she doesn't fight fires with hoses; she fights them with mathematics, predicting where the beast will breathe before it even opens its mouth. She's in absolute control-until an unprecedented Code Red forces her to call in a preemptive strike.

Enter RAFT Strike Team One. The absolute elite. The men who drop into the burning wilderness with no water support, fighting the fire with their bare hands.

When the team's rugged leader repels onto Rachel's helipad, the volatile atmosphere in the valley suddenly becomes the least of her problems. Surrounded by the terrifying beauty of the Australian summer, Rachel is about to find out that some fires are completely unpredictable-and impossible to extinguish.

A high-stakes, high-heat contemporary romance set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Australian wilderness.
