Ignition Point
When the world is on fire, the only person you can trust is the one you were sent to destroy.
Dr. Hallie Bennett lives by the rules. As the state’s top arson investigator, she knows that protocol is the only thing standing between life and a fiery death—a lesson she learned the hard way when her father died playing the hero. When she’s sent to Silver Peak Outpost to audit a "reckless" squad of smokejumpers, she expects to find a reason to shut them down. What she finds instead is Cade "Ash" Dempsey, a man who treats the rulebook like kindling.
Cade doesn't have time for a clipboard-wielding bureaucrat looking for violations. His only job is keeping his team alive in the heat of the Sierra Nevada wilderness. He trusts his gut, not the data. But when a series of suspicious lightning strikes turns into a man-made inferno, Cade and Hallie find themselves cut off from the world and trapped in a decommissioned lookout tower as the forest burns around them.
In the suffocating heat of the tower, the lines between hate and desire begin to blur. To survive the night and unmask a serial arsonist known only as 'The Spark,' they must combine Hallie’s analytical mind with Cade’s raw instinct. But as the smoke clears, a devastating betrayal threatens to consume them both. In a world of ash and bone, can they find a way to let their guard down without getting burned?
