Pure Wildfire!
Pure Wildfire is a rock band. Set in the same world as Department 57, Pure Wildfire's members are shape-shifting firebirds. The lead guitarist, Aidan, is the phoenix.
Each member of Pure Wildfire has their own book, apart from the two guitarists Aidan and Corinne, who share a book. Sunfire is their story. The lead singer and lyricist, Ryan's story is told in Icefire, the bassist, Jake Keys, has Moonfire and the drummer, Chris Keys has (what else!) Thunderfire. See the Pure Wildfire section for more details.
The series covers all the members of the band, and is published by Ellora's Cave.

(previously published as Wildfire, now heavily revised and
rewritten)
Two guitarists - one a wild man
of rock, the other a talented classical goddess. Opposite ends of
the music spectrum, but when they join together, the sparks fly,
and they create their own special kind of Wildfire.
The members of Wildfire are Talents - Firebirds - but once John
Westfall, the band's manager, realizes what a prize he has in Aidan
Hawthorne, the band's lead guitarist, he'll stop at nothing to obtain
the power he's coveted for so long. Including sacrificing his own
daughter.
The moment he hears her play, Aidan is drawn to Corinne in a way
he's never known before. They connect on so many levels and Aidan
will do anything to release her from the cage John Westfall has
trapped her in.
He offers her marriage, he offers her freedom, but Aidan wants more
from Corinne than a place on his band and a piece of paper - he
wants her heart, body and spirit. And he'll give her his in return.
Classical guitarist Corinne is desperate to escape her father's
control. More so when it becomes apparent just how much control
he has over her, and not just the contracts she's signed. Her only
way out is through Aidan's proposal. She loves him but craves the
freedom to choose - can she trust him to give it to her? |

The third album in the Pure Wildfire
series
Jake Keys is the bass player for Wildfire, the hottest rock
band on the planet. Just before going into the studio to record
the band's fourth album, he gets word that his wife is dead.
Cheryl and Jake have never lived together, never even slept
together, because Cheryl needed the money which would only be
released from her mother's estate when she married, and Jake
found "I'm married" a convenient excuse to give the
women flocking to the green room after Wildfire's performances.
Now Cheryl is dead. Murdered. Traveling to her home town in
smalltown America, Jake finds hypocrisy and doubt. Because Cheryl
was gay and her business partner is accused of the murder. A
shame her business partner, Teri, is the sexiest woman he'd
ever seen. So how would she feel if they knew he was a firebird
shapeshifter and Cheryl's murderers might well have been after
his Talent? He's about to find out.
Teri is used to people assuming she isn't what they think she
is. She's learned to live with accusations and sneers, and her
pride won't let her back down. Because she's not gay and she
was never anything but a business partner to Cheryl, the woman
she respected and cared for. Now she's accused of Cheryl's murder,
and she didn't do that too.
Her only salvation is the incredibly sexy Jake Keys, the husband
she never realized Cheryl had. And the amazing Talent he holds,
the ability to fly. Really fly. |

The fourth album in the Pure Wildfire
series
Chris Keys is the drummer for Pure Wildfire, the percussionist, the backbone of the band. But nobody expects a drummer to have much in the way of brainpower.
Except that Chris has. He keeps his hobby quiet, taking pleasure in the fine art he collects, but when he takes a young woman to an auction with him, he knows his secret is out.
Hurt by life, her relatives and herself, the heroine of Thunderfire is doubtful that anyone can take her seriously. But Chris does, much to his own surprise. Then she finds herself in great danger and she needs his help.
But he needs hers, too. |
