Echoes Of Fire by LizAnne Axtel

Will the fire that scarred him keep them both in the cold?

Luke
Everything changed the day I lost my sister—and my hand. I’d lived for the adrenaline rush of fighting fires. Now I live alone in a remote Alaskan cabin, haunted by guilt and memories too painful to ignore. The rugged landscape offers silent solace to my damaged soul. Here I’m able to keep my secrets and longings at bay.
Until Sierra floats down from the sky. The stunning woman sparking a desire for what I’ve never known or experienced. I don’t know how I’ll survive her vivacious joy or how she pushes me toward my greatest fears.

Sierra
When I parachuted into the Alaskan wilderness scouting locations for a new training camp, I didn’t expect to literally fall into the arms of an honest to goodness mountain man. My company designs innovative prosthetics but Luke refuses to even discuss replacing his outdated hand. I’m determined to discover why he’s punishing himself and break through the walls he’s built around his body and his heart. I need him to let me in.
He’s finally opening up to me when his past intrudes with a single, life-changing phone call. He needs to show up or his nephew will be placed in the system. I’ve been there and I’ll do whatever I can to prevent that from happening. So how do I help him find the strength to embrace love and create a family and a future—with me?
