From Nowhere

Wildfire

By: Jewel E. Ann

Narrated by: Benjamin Sands, Amy McFadden

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Jewel E. Ann comes the exciting second novel in the Wildfire series, an emotional romance that burns up the page as it tugs at the heart.

When Maren Bernabe stops by the office to update some paperwork, she’s not looking for love. Then sparks fly during an awkward meet-cute with a stranger in the bathroom, and suddenly anything seems possible.

A seasoned air tanker pilot, Maren battles fires across the rugged Montana wilderness. With firefighters for roommates, she’s no stranger to tough guys—or tough situations. Ozzy Laster is the helpful stranger she meets, one of Cielo Aviation’s newest aircraft mechanics who’s faced his fair share of hardship too. Two years ago, his wife and father died in a car crash. Now Ozzy and daughter Lola shun cars in favor of bikes.

Maren and Ozzy fall hard, but guilt forces them to hide their relationship from Ozzy’s disapproving in-laws. And Lola. They all want to protect her from more heartbreak. But when tragedy strikes again, Lola’s reaction will surprise them all. And Ozzy could get a second chance at love after all…

Critic reviews

“A beautifully written second chance love story, this book packs the emotional punch but in the best way possible.”—Harlequin Junkie

JEA is always the greatest reads

I loved the banter and the sweetness of this story with the right amount of angst

Knew I was in for a ride after 1st book. Just not a bike ride :)

All I can say is the dirty garage scene. Wow. And the conversation with Grandpa getting caught! I was cackling. Dies anyone else want a book about Will and Dougie Houser? I do!!!

Couldn’t put it down

I love this book. Realistic love story. Tragedies to Triumphs. Fear to bravery. Playful love conversations. A beautiful story.

Love

I absolutely loved this book! It made me laugh, cry, and swoon. 10/10! Jewel E Ann is one of my favorite authors and she did not disappoint with this one. I can’t wait to hear Will’s story next!

I thought Fitz and Jamie was an amazing story- but Maren and Ozzy have had me laughing, crying (happy and sad tears). Such an amazing story
