Smoke & Ember: A Smoke Jumper Second Chance, Off Limits, Romance

By: Jenny Beth Hall

Narrated by: Samantha Silvia

I was sent to fight the fire. I didn’t expect to find her in its path.

I was supposed to parachute into Blacktail Ridge, cut a fire line, and get out.

But the woman standing in the smoke is Ember Greene, my best friend’s little sister, and the one girl I was never supposed to fall for.

Five years ago, Ember lost everything in a wildfire that rewrote both our lives. She disappeared, but I never stopped wondering where she went. Now I’ve landed in her burn zone, and she’s back at the ranch she swore she'd never return to. She's still grieving, angry, and more stubborn than ever.

The flames aren’t the only thing we’re battling.
She doesn’t trust me. Doesn’t trust God.
But I see the girl I used to know buried under ash and armor, and I would walk through fire to bring her back.

We’ve got a fire bearing down on us, one last chance at something real, and no guarantee we’ll make it out.

Smoke and Ember is a clean, emotionally charged romance featuring:

• Best friend’s sister
• Second chances & slow-burn chemistry
• Montana ranch life & wildfire suspense
• A protective hero and a heroine in healing
• Faith, forgiveness, and finding your way home

Perfect for fans of clean romance with heart, heat (the wildfire kind), and hope.

Smoke and Ember!

This is a sweet, clean and faith based story that is also emotional. The story is the first in the Strike Team Faith series. This one is about Rex and Ember, his best friend’s little sister. They grew up together in Montana on her families ranch. The sparks were fling between them before he left for the military. She leaves for college and they end up running into each other on a cruise. The sparks are still there and a budding relationship starts between them. Then tragedy of epic proportions happens. This is such a good story. It is not overly long and is very captivating. The narration is nicely done, really bring the characters and their story to life.
