Rush



He could burn. She could die.

Eighteen-year-old Jake King will dive off a waterfall, rock climb without a harness . . . anything to feel a rush.

Besides his best friend and secret love, Salome Lee, getting his adrenaline pumping is the only thing that clears Jake King’s head. So when he’s offered a spot on a hotshot crew of firefighters who rappel into wildfires, it’s the perfect opportunity. Never mind that the crew members have a habit of dying young. Salome tells Jake that she won’t stand by if he takes this risk.

To Jake, firefighting is like breathing pure adrenaline. But if he doesn’t stop soon, they could all get burned . . .

Equal parts romance and heart-pounding action, this novel will leave you absolutely breathless.
