Now he may lose her forever.
Ten years ago, Tom MacKenzie walked away from the woman he loved.
Haunted by the devastating loss of his mother and brother in a house fire, he convinced himself he was no good for Whitney Storm... or anyone else. So he left behind the only future he'd ever wanted and disappeared from her life.
Whitney never stopped loving Tom.
She rebuilt her life, buried her heartbreak, and moved forward the best she could.
Then an assignment to interview smokejumpers brings him crashing back into her world.
The attraction between them is as powerful as ever, but old wounds don't heal easily. Whitney has no intention of giving Tom another chance to break her heart.
Some unknown stalker is determined to make Whitney believe she needs protection. But obsession can be a dangerous thing.
Tom realizes someone is watching Whitney. Someone willing to destroy anyone who stands in the way of claiming her.
Now Tom must face the mistakes of his past and fight for the future he thought he lost.
This time, walking away isn't an option.

Set in the rugged world of elite smokejumpers, Dangerous Heat combines heart-pounding suspense, dangerous obsession, and an unforgettable reunion ten years in the making.
Sloan McBride writes romance where passion collides with peril and myth still walks among us. Her stories lean into the paranormal and the dangerous, weaving mythology, suspense, and steamy romance into worlds where heroines rise, men fall hard, and love is never without consequence.
Her Time Walker Series draws from ancient gods and forbidden realms, while The Talisman Trilogy dances through the Highlands amid clan loyalties and timeless magic. When she’s not bending time or mythology, she turns up the heat in the adrenaline-fueled world of wildfire fighters in the Men of Fire Trilogy.
Based in Illinois, Sloan balances a daytime career in a fast-paced law firm with a nighttime calling to create fierce heroines and beautifully broken men. She has been married for over four decades, raised two creative adults, and believes every great love story deserves danger, desire, and a touch of the impossible.
