Amber Wolf refuses to accept the official story behind her brother’s death. The fire that claimed his life may have been ruled an accident, but Amber knows better. After discovering her brother’s notes and files on a corruption scandal he’d been investigating, she makes it her mission to find the truth—no matter what it takes. But that means questioning everything, even the first responders, including the one man she once thought she could trust.

Firefighter Garth Sanford never imagined the budding romance he shared with Amber would come to an abrupt halt. But after her brother's death, everything changed. Her refusal to back down from her conspiracy theories drove a wedge between them, leaving Garth at a loss for how to fix things.

But when Amber’s life is suddenly on the line, Garth steps in without hesitation. A string of terrifying threats and near-miss attacks prove someone is determined to silence her—and they're willing to kill to do it. Despite their strained relationship, Garth becomes Amber’s protector, and as danger closes in, so does the undeniable pull between them.

As they delve deeper into her brother's investigation, the stakes skyrocket. The corruption Amber’s brother uncovered runs deep, and with every revelation, the risk grows. Amid the danger, passion reignites, but survival comes first, and they’ll need to trust each other if they want to make it out alive.
