There is nothing like coming home. For Connor Vega, stepping foot on his birth soil brings memories and a need to get wild, literally. A leopard shifter, Connor has been called home because of a threat to his people. He never expected to run into the woman he loved and betrayed.

Isabeau Chandler never forgot the man who took her innocence in more ways than one. Though she still blames him for her father's death, Isabeau also knows Connor is the only man who will be able to get close enough to the deadly drug dealer trying to create new routes through the jungle. But she didn't expect the chemistry that still burns between them, nor her inability to stay away from him.

It's not long before the jungle heats up with both passion and gunfire. Isabeau, Connor, and his team are in dangerous territory, made more so by the mating urge slowly taking over Isabeau as she learns of her shifting heritage. Will they be able to stop the drug dealer before evidence of shifter existence is revealed? What about the rogue shifter who believes Isabeau is his mate? Will it come down to a death match between him and Connor?

The intricacies of the storyline, matched with Isabeau and Connor's personal drama and the heat of the Amazon, come to life in Christine Feehan's WILD FIRE. Though the book is a bit darker than the author's previous offerings, it still offers a richness of imagery and emotion that captures the reader's attention. Isabeau and Connor are well matched. She is a woman who has come into her own after a betrayal that cut deep. She is willing to stand up to and for Connor and the love that they share. Connor knows he has done things in his past that he regrets. The opportunity for a second chance is not one he will pass up, and he will stop at nothing to protect what is his. Several of Connor's colleagues return to the stage from previous books in the series including Ethan and Rio, though they act mainly as background while Connor and Isabeau are the centerpiece of the tale.

Another gripping tale that will leave readers begging for more as they breathlessly watch how far and wide this WILD FIRE will burn.
