The Smoke Jumper | evans nicholas | kharidobechobooks

From the international bestselling author of 'The Horse Whisperer' comes a sweeping epic of love, loyalty, and survival.

Connor Ford is a man who leaps from the sky into raging wildfires, braving the elements as a courageous elite "smoke jumper." But his toughest battle isn't against the flames—it’s against his own heart. Connor has fallen deeply in love with Julia Bishop, a vibrant woman who happens to be the partner of his closest friend and fellow firefighter, Ed Tully. Julia finds herself torn between both men until a devastating tragedy on Montana's Snake Mountain forces a painful choice and changes all three of their lives forever.

In the emotional aftermath, Connor leaves everything behind to become a reckless war photographer, traveling through the world’s most dangerous conflicts, daring death to take him. But when fate draws them back together on an entirely different continent, Connor must walk through fire one final time to protect the woman he can never forget. Moving from the rugged wilderness of the American West to the war-torn terrains of Africa, Nicholas Evans delivers a masterfully woven tale of passion, guilt, and ultimate redemption.
