Fight by Sloane St. James (Paperback)

Callahan lives for the heat, the danger and the purpose that comes with leading a hotshot crew. Wildfires shaped his life, but losing a crew member five years ago reshaped everything. Since then he has kept his world tight. Work hard. Lead well. Keep nights simple and brief. No attachments. No repeats. No space for the past to creep in.

Prescott Timmons throws all of that off balance the moment she steps into his path. Sharp tongue. Quick wit. A spark he feels before he can shut it down. She pushes back in all the ways that draw him in. One night with her turns into a complication he doesn’t want to examine. Then her secrets appear, twisting things in ways that remind him of the lies that once cost him everything.

He walks away. He tells himself it’s for the best. But when disaster strikes and Prescott is caught in a dangerous situation in the wilderness, he acts without hesitation. Training takes over. Instinct takes over. Protecting her becomes the only thing that matters.

Forced to stay together while waiting for rescue, their walls finally crack. The silence brings questions. The tension brings honesty. The past sits between them, but so does the pull neither can ignore.

The choice is simple on paper. Let the spark fade. Or take a chance on something that could change both their lives. Readers who enjoy rugged settings, broken heroes and rising tension will want to see which way they fall.
