Bound By Fire

Jesse Kingston loves his job as a New York State forest ranger, the one thing he can commit himself to with the assurance that he won’t be hurt. And now, even that has turned on him.

His boss gives him an ultimatum—go home and get his head on straight, or hand in his resignation. “Home”—a family he’s never felt close to and a house with his name on the deed.

At least there he won’t have constant reminders of his best friend, Paul Jackson, who died in a firestorm. Yet he’s obsessed with finding out how that could happen.

Karen Ellis is four months pregnant with Paul Jackson’s baby. When Paul suddenly disappears, she contacts the office at the ranger station where he worked and is told he had perished in a wildfire.

Karen has suspicions about Paul’s death. Her baby needs a family and, for her own peace of mind, she needs an explanation to settle the questions she has about how Paul died.

She turns to Jesse for help, but will their investigation only get them killed before the love they’ve found with each other has time to grow?
