What Wildfire is about
Russ Callaghan and Aurora Roberts meet at an end-of-year party at Maple Hills, and a drinking game leads to a passionate night together. Aurora slips out before Russ can learn her full name. Then summer camp begins, and there she is, a fellow counselor on the very first day.
Both have reasons to be there. Russ hopes to get away from the fallout of his father's gambling addiction. Aurora is worn out from craving everyone's attention and wants to go back to the one place that ever felt like home. The camp forbids staff from getting involved with one another, and Russ knows breaking that rule could send him home. Part of the Maple Hills series, this is a romance about belonging and forbidden attraction.
