Little else in life is as dangerous as fireplace jumping. Flying past towering pillars of smoking, parachuting down to the edge of any all-consuming blaze, shoveling and sawing for hours upon hours, days and nights at a time, all to hold the line and push back against the natural power of Mother Nature. But there's also little else as exciting - at least to Rowan Tripp. The Missoula smoking jumpers are one of the most exclusive firefighting squads in the country, and the work is in Rowan's blood vessels: her daddy is a star in the field. She's been preventing fires since her eighteenth birthday. At this point, time for the wilds of Montana for the season feels like arriving home - even with reminders of the spouse she lost previous season still lingering in the air. Luckily, this year's rookie crop is probably the strongest ever before - and Gulliver Curry's one of the best. He's also a walking contradiction, a hotshot firefighter with a huge vocabulary and a winter job at a kids' arcade. He came to Missoula to follow in the footsteps of Lucas "Iron Man" Tripp, yet he's instantly more fascinated by his hero's little princess. Rowan, as a rule, doesn't hook up with other smoking jumpers, but Gull is convinced he can transform her head. And damn if he doesn't make a good circumstance to be an exclusion to the guideline. Everything is tossed off balance, though, when a dark existence lashes out against Rowan, looking to blame someone for previous year's tragedy. Rowan is aware of she can't complicate things with Gull - any interruptions in the air or on the ground could be lethal. But if she doesn't find someone she can slim on when heat gets strong, her life may decrease in flames.
