Lovers to enemies. Enemies to hotshots fighting a forest fire. Hotshots with a past more blistering than the flames before them. Loving Tribulation Brewster was as hot and all-consuming as a July brushfire. It burned him out. Jack recognized that too much booze and too much blind love wasn't going to make a relationship—and he left.

Will nothing short of a fire whirl keep them from reuniting?
