As fire season opens, Whitney Storm is excited to interview smokejumpers for her magazine article—until she meets the squad leader. Tom MacKenzie is the tall, dark and dangerous man who took her heart, ignited her passion and then vanished. She struggles against the reignited attraction, and she must. She has no place in her life for the force that is Tom MacKenzie.

Tom is a smokejumper and no stranger to danger. He thought he was well-equipped to handle hot scenarios, but seeing Whitney again brings up emotions he hasn't felt in years. He's ready to face the past, apologize and make amends. She's made it clear that she wants nothing to do with him.

When Tom follows Whitney home, he discovers she has a secret. Strange things begin to happen and Whitney appears to be at the center of it. Unless they can learn to trust each other again, a killer will turn their world to ash.

From the Author: She's strong, He's dangerous. Their second chance could get them both killed. The passion is hot, the stakes are high, and the happily ever after is guaranteed.
