Riley clearly wasn’t the only one addicted to jumping into the fire.

Larke really was sitting next to the ghost of Freeman.

Not physically, really, because Freeman had been tall, dark haired, dark skinned, with a calm intensity about him that she’d needed overseas when chaos and destruction and daily danger kept her jumpy and on edge.

Riley might just be the complete opposite with his easy smile, tousled golden brown hair, the way he sat next to her in her truck, wearing aviator sunglasses, a baseball cap, and a clean black T-shirt tucked into his grimy fire pants. Riley was fun and flirt and charm.

But he and Freeman shared the same core. The fearlessness, the sense of duty, the determination to finish the job.

To rescue.

I like to jump into fire and do anything and everything I can to stop it and save lives.

Shoot, she was going to get really hurt here.

Because a gust of crazy relief had whooshed through her when Riley said he’d go with her to Alicia’s. Not because she needed him. And certainly not because she wanted to keep him from dropping out of the sky back into danger—although, yeah, that hovered in the back of her mind—but just because…

With him she felt like she might not be on the ground in pieces, listening to the gunshots, smelling the smoke, trapped and not sure how to get to safety. And sure, she was still outside the fence, but with Riley, maybe not alone.

She’d slept hard, for at least five hours. Again.

Oh, yes, she was in big trouble. Because for the first time, she wanted to figure out how to make it back inside the fence.

Maybe start over again. As her father would say, turn the page.

Riley looked at his cell phone again.

“Did you get ahold of Tucker?”

He shook his head. “And the guys are on a sat radio, so I can’t check in with them, either.” He leaned his head back on the seat. “See the different colors of the smoke? The gray is long burning, less hot ground cover and debris. The black is what we need to worry about. It’s from hot, fresh fire, moving fast and growing.”

He was referring to the mushroom cover of haze that shadowed the park, blurring the mountains and turning the sunshine blood red. She could barely make out the Denali range for the boil of smoke above the lush green foothills.

“You don’t think it could reach the ranch, do you?”

He shrugged, just the one shoulder—the other still encased in the sling. She’d helped him remove it to put his T-shirt on and gotten a glimpse of the ripped core that he’d developed as a firefighter. That and a few scars. He’d given her a funny, almost childish look as she helped him on with his shirt, tugging it up his arm, then over his head, and onto his other arm. She wanted to remind him that she was a medic, that she’d seen men’s bodies before.
