Nora Roberts - the world`s greatest storyteller Rowan Tripp is addicted to danger.

She can read a wildfire like no one else - and is prepared to put her life on the line again and again to save others.

And when it becomes clear that someone blames Rowan for Jim`s death, and is determined to get revenge, Rowan realises this is one fight she can`t win on her own ...
