Wildfire Hearts
(2026)(The fifth book in the Secrets of Sandpiper Shores series)
A novel by Amy Rafferty
Six children are missing in the wilderness. Two veterans must learn to trust – and open their hearts – to bring everyone home.
Fire Captain Willa Parker thought she’d faced it all…until a group of local children disappears during a summer hike. With smoke on the horizon and communications down, she turns to the one man she hoped to avoid: Ace McKenna, retired military pilot and the only person who knows the coastal preserve better than she does.
As they work together to bring everyone safely home, Willa and Ace discover the walls they’ve built to protect themselves are starting to crumble. In their place, a new bond begins to form – one that could change both their lives forever.
Meanwhile, June Carter and Holt Dillinger edge closer to uncovering the arsonist’s final moves. But a shocking family secret threatens everything they thought they knew about their town, their legacy, and each other.
