Wild horses, sizzling passion and the craggy New England coast are the setting of book 9 of Morgan's Fire! Veterinarian, Kiki Bloom comes to Horseshoe Crab Cove, leaving a violent, traumatic past behind. Then, Morgan son, Ben, comes home to accept a position as pediatric surgeon at a nearby hospital. After a string of failed relationships, Ben has sworn off women, and Kiki freaks out at a man's touch. When the two bond in caring for an injured mustang, they decide to stay friends, steady, dear friends. Anything more is too much for Kiki.

As their friendship deepens, Kiki works through her painful history with a trauma specialist, and Ben's resolve about not getting involved begins to crumble. With guidance and support, they begin a passionate, love affair in their sanctuary— the cottage at Barnum's Ledge. Will new revelations break them apart, or will this couple's love and deep affection triumph over hardships?
