The onset of fire season should be the hottest thing about interviewing smokejumpers for Whitney Storm-until she sees Tom MacKenzie. He set her heart aflame ten years ago, then disappeared. As an empath who doesn't need emotional turmoil, this six-foot tall dark and dangerous memory has no place in her life. As a smoke jumper, Tom's job keeps him face to face with danger and he thought he knew how to handle heat. But the uncontrolled burn whenever he's near Whitney is hotter than he remembers. He's ready to face the past and make amends. She's made it clear she wants nothing to do with him. A life-threatening problem flares when a killer's greedy obsession threatens everything. Can Tom and Whitney learn to trust each other again and protect all that they hold dear, or will their world turn to ashes around them?
