But there's also little else as thrilling - at least to Rowan Tripp. The Missoula smoke jumpers are one of the most exclusive firefighting squads in the nation and the job is in Rowan's blood: her father is a legend in the field. She's been fighting fires since her eighteenth birthday. At this point, returning to the wilds of Montana for the season feels like coming home - even with reminders of the partner she lost last season still lingering in the air. Fortunately, this year's rookie crop is among the strongest ever - and Gulliver Curry's one of the best. He's also a walking contradiction, a hotshot firefighter with a big vocabulary and a winter job at a kids' arcade. He came to Missoula to follow in the footsteps of Lucas "Iron Man" Tripp, yet he's instantly more fascinated by his hero's daughter. Rowan, as a rule, doesn't hook up with other smoke jumpers, but Gull is convinced he can change her mind. And damn if he doesn't make a good case to be an exception to the rule.

39. "DESTINY UNLEASHED" by Sherryl Woods (A+) (Million-Dollar Destinies #4) Destiny Carlton is finally ready for a little sweet revenge. For twenty years Destiny Carlton has put family and duty ahead of her own hopes and dreams. Now with the orphaned nephews she raised grown and married, it's time for the once free-spirited artist to reinvent herself yet again, this time as a savvy businesswoman out for revenge. Her target - William Harcourt, a man she once loved, a man who now seems hell-bent on destroying her family's business. For William, going after Carlton Industries is a high-stakes gamble. He's gotten Destiny's attention, but he's also infuriated her family. Now they stand firmly between him and his real goal - winning Destiny's heart. William has set the corporate game in motion, but suddenly he's playing by Destiny's rules. And when an unpredictable women's fury has been unleashed, who knows what unexpected twists life might take?
40. "ORCHID BEACH" by Stuart Wood (Holly Barker #1) (A) Smart, attractive and fiercely independent, Major Holly Barker, the army-brat daughter of a master sergeant, has been forced into early retirement at the age of thirty-seven as the result of a scandalous sexual harassment case. With the help of her dad she makes the move to civilian life, becoming deputy chief of police in Orchid Beach, Florida. But below the calm, sunny surface of this sleepy well-to-do coastal island town lies a web of evil and deceit that escalates when a colleague and another associate are brutally gunned down. Alone, an outsider with no clues to go on, finding the killers won't be easy for Holly and her seemingly low-key new career soon thrusts her into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Surrounded by a staff of officers she neither knows nor trusts, Holly finds help in a most unexpected source - Daisy, a Doberman of exceptional intelligence and loyalty who quickly becomes her inseparable companion and protector. The closer she gets to unraveling the mystery of Orchid Beach, however, the nearer Holly comes to danger, darker and more deadly than any she could ever have anticipated.
41. "ONCE IN A BLUE MOON" by Eileen Goudge (A++) While growing up, it was Lindsay's job to look after her little sister, Kerrie Ann. When the girls' stripper mom was sent to prison for selling drugs, their neighbor, a retired exotic dancer by the name of Miss Honi Love, fought to keep them, but to no avail. Thirty years later, Lindsay is the owner of a bookstore in the sleepy California seaside town of Blue Moon Bay. Adopted by a loving couple - from whom she inherited the home she shares with the ever-feisty Miss Honi - she's still trying to reconnect with her long-lost sister. Unbeknownst to Lindsay, Kerrie Ann has led a very different life, bounced from one foster home to the next. Now, newly sober, Kerrie is fighting to regain custody of her little girl. When the sisters are finally reunited, the two very different women clash. As Lindsay and Kerrie Ann engage in the fiercest battles of their lives - while each embarks on a journey of the heart with the unlikeliest of men - they are drawn together, restoring belief in the unshakable bond of family.
