Can a love that once burned so bright be rekindled?

After a difficult breakup, wildland firefighter Jimena “Mena” Mendoza and university professor Sydney Foster have parted ways, but neither has moved on. When a life-threatening accident reunites them in the heart of Arizona, old feelings resurface amidst the towering ponderosa pines and the ever-present threat of wildfires.

As they confront their past and navigate the dangers of their present, Mena and Sydney must decide if their love is worth fighting for. Will they overcome their personal demons and the unpredictable forces of nature to find a path to healing and a second chance at love? This contemporary romance explores themes of courage, redemption, and the enduring power of the human heart.

Toni Draper was born and lived most of her life in Maryland. These days, she calls home a two-acre sprawl that she shares with her spouse, three rescued dogs, and a stray that stayed in south Texas, within a 2.5 hour drive of the Rio Grande. Wildfire is her first novel.
