Today I am so excited to welcome Annabeth Albert back to Joyfully Jay! Annabeth is here to share an exclusive cover reveal for High Heat, her upcoming story in the Hotshots series. She has also brought along a great giveaway. Please join me in giving her a big welcome!
Hey Joyfully Jay readers! I am so very excited to be here today to reveal the cover for HIGH HEAT, book 2 in my Hotshots series. If you havenât read it yet, book one, BURN ZONE, is out now at all your favorite retailers. I loved writing BURN ZONE and capturing the smoke jumping universe. As a secondary character in BURN ZONE, Garrick was easily one of my favorite parts. Heâs a fun guy, a veteran smoke jumper who embodies everything neat about the smoke jumping community with his love of sky diving and freewheeling attitude. Heâs also a good friend to Linc and Jacob and vital part of their team. But what happens when that job, that community is threatened by an injury beyond his control?
Garrickâs book, HIGH HEAT, was a chance for me to delve deep into what happens when life doesnât go according to plan. However, itâs not a high angst book at all. Itâs fun and uplifting and super romantic. Thereâs a dog in need of a home, a kinky new younger neighbor, a hot tub, and shenanigans aplenty as Garrick and his co-hero Rain, discover what truly makes a home. As with the whole series, you can expect fire drama in the background and lots of adrenaline pumping, but also deep, meaningful feelings and warm, squishy endings.
And Garrick and Rain deserved a HIGH HEAT cover for all their sizzling chemistry and sexy feels! Iâm so thrilled with what the Carina art team came up with! I love the covers for the whole series! And both HIGH HEAT and FEEL THE FIRE (book 3) are up for preorder at all retailers!

Blurb
Annabeth Albertâs Hotshots series continuesâthe emotions and intensity of Chicago Fire with the raw, natural elements of Man vs. Wild .
Smoke jumping is Garrick Nelsonâs life. Nothing, not severe injuries nor the brutal physical therapy that follows, is going to stop him from getting back with his crew. But when a lost dog shows up on his front porch, he canât turn her away, and he canât take care of her on his own. Thankfully, help comes in the form of his new sexy, dog-loving neighbor. As they work together, trying to re-home their little princess, Garrick canât resist his growing attraction for the other man, even though he knows this guy isnât the staying type.
Rain Fisher doesnât take anything too seriously. He dances through life, one adventure at a time, never settling in one place for too long. When his hot, conveniently buff, neighbor shows up on his doorstep, dog in tow, Rainâs determined to not just save the adorable puppy, but her reluctant owner as well. He never expects their flirtation might tempt him into stay put once and for all…
Danger lurks everywhere for Central Oregonâs fire crews, but the biggest risk of all might be losing their hearts. Donât miss the Hotshots series from Annabeth Albert: Burn Zone, High Heat, and Feel the Fire.Also by Annabeth Albert:

Looking forward to High Heat, though I think the blurb above is for Burn Zone. Also, I really liked Jacobâs character from that book.
Thank you! It looks like they sent me the wrong blurb, but I have updated it and it is now correct for High Heat. Thanks!
Can’t wait for this story!!!!
I loved the 1st book, can’t wait for this 1!
This sounds really good!
Damn, the cover is Hot. Can’t wait for Garrick story
sounds awesome!
The book sounds great and I love the cover.
Great cover and the books sounds really good I’m looking forward to reading the series.
Welcome, Annabeth, and best wishes for the success of High Heat!
A favorite firefighter hero or heroine? All the real firefighters have my admiration. A fictional heroine in a related field is Nora Roberts’ arson investigator, Reena Hale.
Sounds great. Thank you for the post!
The cover is certainly hot. Looking forward to this one!
One very underrated firefighter is Jason Cooper from Lynn Lorenz’s BEST VACATION THAT NEVER WAS!
Gorgeous cover. It reminds me I have yet read the first book ?
Wow! I love the cover. I simply love it
Love her books!!
nice cover
What is it about backs? How can they be so ‘hot’ while at the same time express vulnerability?
The cover is gorgeous. So typical of Annabeth’s books.
My favorite firefighter…so far has been Otto Wilde in ‘Wilde Fire’ by Lucy Lennox. The heat between Otto and Seth is amazing.
If Annabeth’s new heroes match the fire between Zach and Pike in ‘Off Base’ it will be a wonderful story.
I’m so looking forward to it!
Yes, I agree, Annabeth gets such gorgeous covers!
I love your books and enjoy reading them! Try to buy all your books but it may take awhile!
