Danger Zone
Book 1 — Weathering the Firestorm Series
The fire gained momentum as howling winds and sheets of red-hot embers barreled up the vertical canyon. Noah’s heart thumped wildly. His mind raced as he scanned for any open space to deploy his fire shelter. Finding a slight depression on the forest floor, he yanked his shelter out of the pack and wrestled inside…waiting.
As fire season rages, another storm brews. Ashley Smith, a busy mom and NICU nurse struggles. Her firefighter husband, Noah, is gone for sudden lengthy stretches during fire season. His dangerous job, the unbearable stress it creates, and their increased time apart, tears at the foundation of their relationship. An unexpected encounter with a former flame causes Ashley to face both her own flawed self-identity and what is truth. Forced to her knees before God, she must learn who she is, if she’s to keep her marriage from crumbling. Will their love weather the firestorm?

Backfire
To stop an unstoppable enemy, you have to fight fire with fire.
In the firefighting world, a backfire is a high-stakes, dangerous strategy—a defensive blaze set intentionally to starve an advancing wildfire. For Air Attack Battalion Chief Noah Smith and his Special Education School Nurse wife, Ashley, along with their two daughters, it becomes the ultimate metaphor for survival.
The Smith family’s world is shattered when Shane, a vengeful teenage arsonist, turns his fury on them. Following a brutal attack at the Air Attack base, Noah fires the troubled teen. Blaming Ashley for his arrest after a reckless illegal campfire, Shane’s malice knows no bounds. But a cell can’t hold Shane for long.
Driven by a twisted desire for revenge, he ignites a catastrophic fire designed to consume everything—and everyone—the Smiths hold dear. But a backfire can also mean having the opposite effect of what was intended.
Can they survive the threat before it burns their lives to the ground?
From the first spark to the final backfire, one firefighter and one nurse face a rising inferno of danger, desire, and a threat that burns closer with every book.
Same stamp on the bottom: “Courage in the flames, love through it all”
