After nearly dying in a suspicious plane crash, Jonathan Canterbury IV decides to let the world believe that he’s dead. Starting over again as a forest ranger and on the firefighter hotshot team as Ethan Sommerly, he hides in his cabin deep in a national forest, as well as behind a shaggy beard and hairdo, safe from his family’s supposed curse until an intrepid reporter and a mysterious accident reveal his identity to the world. Hairdresser and salon owner Tammy Ingles has long been drawn to the quiet Ethan, but once she discovers who he really is, she knows she’s not the type of woman whom the long-lost heir to an immense fortune would ever be interested in. When Ethan appears to be the target of a series of deadly attacks, though, Tammy knows she’ll never forgive herself if she leaves him to face the danger alone.
VERDICT With protagonists who spend too much time in their own heads and too little time actually talking to each other, reading the latest in Childs’s series (after Hotshot Heroes Under Threat) is at times a frustrating endeavor.
