Publisher's Synopsis
When Firefighter Samantha Espisito-Carelli lands her dream job, she doesn't realize her ex-flame is also a firefighter at Laurel Run Fire Department, not to mention, was her New Jersey State Trooper husband's once best friend; the drama really flares when a cunning arsonist targets Sam's shift and the new Captain with 'white helmet syndrome' makes life a living hell. The lives of Firefighter Sam, her State Trooper husband Holt Carelli, and Sam's ex, Firefighter Aaron Shaw, unfold as they suffer setbacks in their personal lives, and do the unthinkable on nothing but faith and adrenaline in their professional ones. An emotional and thrilling work of fiction, that gives an inside look into lives of professional heroes. Blood & Fire is surely the most epic firefighter saga since Ladder 49 and it's predecessor Backdraft. "This book is a quick, fast read that was hard to put down. It has a blazing pace and keeps you turning the pages to find out what's going to happen. Having worked on a fire department for ten years I can say that Bozarth nails the emotional reality of being a female firefighter and the job in general. Station life. Truck work. Camaraderie. Male communication (or lack thereof)...Bozarth has compassion for all her characters, even the flawed ones. She captures the way men talk and bond and how a woman perceives them...I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to read about a life in the fire service..." -Gea Leigh Haff, from THREAD OF STEEL, Firefighter/Paramedic/Rescue Diver at Miami-Dade Fire Rescue
