Firelight Ridge has always felt like another world to Doctor Ani Devi—but now things are getting even stranger. Military members have suddenly appeared in town and she was just questioned about a man she treated at the airport. Sure, she’d rather nurse the emotional wounds that sent her fleeing to the remote Alaska outpost, but she can’t abandon her job, and the strange events are a worthy distraction. Though she never imagined her search for answers would land her on the doorstep of a wildly attractive stranger.
Gil McGowan is a born protector, so when his friend Victor begs him for help right before he disappears, Gil is determined to find out what’s going on. Maybe it would be easier without a beautiful woman along, but he promised Victor he’d protect Ani—from what, he wouldn’t say. Gil is sure Victor’s being paranoid, until he and Ani barely escape an explosion on the shores of Smoky Lake. Things just got real, and more dangerous than they know.
Now Gil and Ani are racing against time and from enemies unknown to unravel a mystery that started deep in the Alaskan permafrost and now threatens the town of Firelight Ridge—while fighting chemistry hot enough to light up Smoky Lake.
This is the story of Gil and Ani. This is the third book in the Firelight Ridge Series. I have read the first and somehow missed the second book. But I will be going back and reading this one. I loved both the books that I read but this one was my favorite. If you have read the second book then you know who these characters are and that Ani is Dr who stayed in Alaska to help with residents medical care. I was able to figure that out. But again I wish I had read the second book. She is also a little lost as her marriage is over and she is divorced. She was a Dr that practiced in Indiana but now is in Alaska and she isn’t sure where life is going to take her. Who would have ever thought that a flight to go see her friend who set in motion things that she never had a way of seeing coming. Gil is in the same boat as Ani. He is a temporary resident of Firefight, Alaska to stay with his brother and take a break from his government job. When she comes looking for Gil needing help he can’t figure out what she could need from him. However, he soon finds himself with her trying to keep themselves alive and trying to figure out what is exactly going on. This was a great book that keeps you guessing and hanging on every word. I have to say too that these two characters have some amazing chemistry that there dealing with on top of everything else. This book had me hooked and I didn’t lay it down until I was finished.
