Silhouette Intimate Moments #1186, November 2002

Rocky Mountain Search and Rescue is back! This time it's Buzz Malone, searching for a four-year-old boy lost on a mountain with an out-of-control forest fire headed his way. Worse, the victim isn't just any little boy--it's his son, a child he never knew he had until he was in danger of losing him. His ex-wife, Kelly, had kept little Eddie a secret because Buzz had made it clear he did not want children. Now Buzz and Kelly must join forces, putting their differences aside to track Eddie down before something terrible happens.

In this gripping, emotional story, Linda Castillo (see more BooksForABuck.com reviews of novels by this author) deftly blends the turbulent feelings of a couple who love almost too deeply, pitted against the indifferent ravages of nature. The richly drawn setting adds intensity to the story, and the action scenes, depicted in a fresh and bold manner, kept the pages turning. A great read from a consistently entertaining author. (And the eye-catching cover doesn't hurt matters!)
