White Heat
Lyndie Anderson was raised by her career-military grandfather to value both flying and her freedom. As a bush pilot for the San Diego-based Hope International charity organization, she roams the world, bringing supplies and specialized experts to the areas in need. Her current cargo is Griffin Moore, the former leader of an elite firefighting "hotshot" team still traumatized by the deaths of 12 friends on his last assignment. Her destination is a remote and very poor small town called San Puebla in the Barranca del Cobre mountain region of northwestern Mexico, which is currently threatened by wildfire, and, coincidentally, is the closest thing to home that Lyndie claims. In her debut Shalvis firmly establishes herself as a writer of fast-paced, edgy- but-realistic romantic suspense, with believable and likable supporting characters and fiercely evocative descriptive passages. This is the first in a series of three unconnected romances featuring firefighters; the second,Blue Flame, will be released in December.Lynne WelchCopyright © American Library Association.
