Wildfire - Joanna White - Bog

In the aftermath of a life-shattering wildfire overseas, Andrew, an army veteran and amputee, grapples with the ghosts of war, adjusting to civilian life, and the pain of losing his leg. Life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Natalie, an injured gymnast, during physical therapy. They feel a deep connection, but Natalie's parents have strict plans for her future, plans that don't involve falling for a wounded warrior. Despite the odds and their clashing worlds, Natalie and Andrew's love deepens, driving them to defy expectations. As Natalie prepares for a crucial gymnastics competition, Andrew joins his family in managing a resort where Natalie's family will be staying. Balancing their families, their differences, and their faith becomes a challenge neither saw coming. But then, the unthinkable strikes-a massive earthquake shatters California and triggers volcanic eruptions in Hawaii. The ensuing wildfires spread like a relentless, consuming force, threatening everything in their path. Andrew's battle with his own demons takes a backseat as they face an even greater foe. In a world set ablaze, their love becomes a lifeline, the fire tests their courage, and Andrew's struggle with PTSD turns into a fight for survival. Wildfire is a heart-stopping journey of love, resilience, and faith, where fire tests the limits of human strength, and the embers of hope burn brighter than ever before. Wildfire is a contemporary, Christian, suspenseful, southern-gentleman, wounded veteran, rich-poor, small town, natural disaster romance. It's book one in the Calamity's Hope Series, but can be read as a standalone.
