Watch for
Pure Heat
,

the first book in Firehawks, an exciting new series by M.L. Buchman, coming May 2014 from Sourcebooks Casablanca

The daredevil smokejumpers of Mount Hood Aviation do more than fight wildfires. Led by retired SOAR pilots, they fly elite operatives into places that even the CIA can’t penetrate—and Charlene Thomas and Steve Mercer are the best in the business.

While battling the summer’s toughest fire, the pair uncover a terrorist camp in the remote forest of Oregon. Using specially equipped helicopters and a stealth-modified drone, they take on the camp. The mission—and the flames—are combatable. For Steve, it’s the heat from Charlene that might just scorch him to the core.
