Sometimes, the only way to heal is to step into the fire.

Captain Zane Holt is Cedar Springs’ most controlled and commanding firefighter, hiding his scars behind discipline and duty.

He lost the love of his life and vowed never to risk his heart again.

But when a late-night blaze sends him to the home of his first heartbreak—the curvy, fierce woman who walked away years ago—his carefully guarded world explodes.

ER nurse Sophia Greer thought surviving her divorce was her biggest challenge—until her house goes up in flames and she finds herself face-to-face with the only man who’s ever made her feel truly safe.

With her teenage daughter in tow and nowhere else to turn, she reluctantly accepts Zane’s offer to stay with him.

Now they're stuck together in close quarters, and every glance sizzles. Every brush of skin reignites the passion they thought was lost.

Forced proximity. Second chance. A grumpy, emotionally locked-down hero. A sunshine-hearted heroine who's stronger than she knows.

But as old wounds resurface and buried feelings reignite, can Zane risk loving—and losing—Sophia all over again?

Or will this fire finally burn away the past and forge a forever neither of them saw coming?

In Cedar Springs, second chances burn hotter than first love—and this one might just be unstoppable.
