Montana Smoke (Blazing Hearts Montana Fire #1)

She’s the wildfire everyone warns about. He’s the man who swore he’d never burn again.

Smokejumper Deanna Brooks has built a reputation across fire crews from Alaska to Idaho—and not the kind you can outrun. A woman who leaves broken hearts in her wake. But when a jump into Idaho’s Clearwater Mountains goes catastrophically wrong, she barely survives.

This time, she doesn’t walk away unchanged.

Assigned to Montana for her chance at redemption, Deanna is determined to prove she’s more than her past.

Air tanker pilot Colton “Sky King” Davis lives by discipline. Tight flight lines, hard boundaries, and zero emotional risk. After a devastating betrayal, trusting anyone—especially a woman like Deanna—isn’t part of the plan.

Until she saves his best friend’s life. The woman he expected is reckless. The woman he meets is brave and loyal. Impossible to forget.

As wildfires rage across Montana’s backcountry, someone is turning the fires—and the fight against them—into a weapon. Aircraft are sabotaged. Lives are targeted. And the closer Deanna and Colton get to the truth, the more dangerous every flight becomes.

Now they’re fighting two battles: one against an unseen enemy...and one against the feelings neither of them wanted.

Because in a fire season where every mission could be their last, the greatest leap isn’t into the flames—it’s trusting someone enough to stay.
