Author: Angela Breidenbach

Genre: Historical Fiction

Release date: February 1, 2022

The fiery pain at her new husband’s murder might equal the disaster blazing across the Pacific Northwest. Stranded in the treacherous railroad camp, baking bread for survival to avoid the life of a bordello canary, Juliana Hayes has no desire to marry a railroad ruffian like Lukas Filips, or anyone else.

Her scrimping and saving will pay off soon.

She’ll be free of the camps, the rails, and the men who destroyed her life. But she can’t earn her living constantly besieged by desperate bachelors where few women cause chaos in the male ranks.

Juliana reluctantly accepts his protection, but when Lukas reveals the secret of his Montenegrin nobility, the old fears flare as hot as the firestorm eating up the forest at their heels.

Can she release her prejudice to love again?

Or will either one of them survive The Big Blowup to find out?

Flame of the Rockies, Book 6 in the Queen of the Rockies series, is based on true history when three million acres burned out of control on the border of Montana and Idaho darkening the skies all the way to the East Coast during August of 1910. It’s a wonder anyone survived! Read this heart-pounding romance full of adventure, honoring the true history and the heroes that made it.

Be sure to follow this 6-book historical romance adventure series, Queen of the Rockies, set in the Gilded Age through the turn of the century.

Written by bestselling author and professional genealogist, Angela Breidenbach.

My Thoughts on Flame of the Rockies

Flame of the Rockies is book six in the Queen of the Rockies series. All six books are amazing and you’re going to want to read them all.

You don’t have to read all of these in order.  While some of them have characters from previous books they are not integral to the book and you won’t feel lost without reading them in order.  That said, I did read them all in order and I highly recommend you do too!

I love this book.  Really I love the whole series.  

In this book, you’re going to get a bit more suspense than the others in the series.  There is this huge fire that the main characters battle against.  Can they make it out or will they be burned alive?

Add in that our heroine is a super strong woman as she survives in the mining camps without having to sell her body.  Instead, she bakes and sells bread.  But when some men start to get a little friendly can she trust the one man who vows to keep her safe?  And what happens when she learns his connection to the men who killed her husband?

More from Angela

Research is both a joy and a nemesis for an author and/or genealogist. We’re easily distracted by one more fascinating discovery! The entire series, Queen of the Rockies, came from research rabbit trails when I thought there’d be one book. Now there are six ending with Flame of the Rockies!

Flame of the Rockies happens on the factual Trail of the Hiawatha.

At first, this trail was a mining area deep in the mountains on the Idaho-Montana border. So deep that fourteen feet of snow blocking the railroad was common during the winter. Quite the contrast to the hot, dry summers with countless lightning strikes and regular forest fires.

After the Big BlowUp that occurred in August of 1910 burning over 3,000,000 acres, the area gradually became a gorgeous upscale train ride through the mountains. People rode the Hiawatha for leisure, upscale dining, and tourism. Then rails died out. The Trail of the Hiawatha rose from the ashes of forgotten history to become the incredible 16.5-mile bike path it is today. The trail winds down the valley from on top of the Continental Divide with incredible views for miles as you ride and experience the awe of God’s creative grandeur.

Understanding the history and evolution of this special trail isn’t hard. So much work in historical preservation has been done, and continues to be done, for those who come. Be sure to read the travel article in the back of this book so you can be one of those holding your breath as mountain after mountain after mountain rolls outward from the trestles. You’ll see mountain tops go on for miles and miles. Those vistas truly feel as if you’re standing on the clouds with the Heavenly Hosts. Then you’ll understand why Montana is called the Big Sky Country!

I hope you enjoy Flame of the Rockies and meeting many of the real people who lived and worked in those extreme conditions. Yes, a few of the characters are fictitious. But remember you’re also going to meet a true hero whose heroism and the name still ring through the Hiawatha and the world today!
