About this ebook

She left him to die.
Now he's back from the ashes.

Eight years ago, firefighter Jude Welbeck watched a man burn. Curtis Houle was a criminal - a killer - and although Jude didn't start the fire, she let it finish him.

Now Jude has built a new life as a wildfire lookout in British Columbia, thousands of miles from the memories that haunt her. She has finally escaped her past.

Until a plane crashes in the forest. As fire rages and a bear circles the dead, one survivor clings to life in the wreckage.

Curtis Houle.

Jude's orders are simple: guard the wreck and protect the bodies. Until she knows the truth, she must keep him alive - because she can't kill the same man twice. No matter what secrets he carries . . .
