Being a career hotshot, a wildland firefighter, is all Ive ever known. Its my greatest passion. This job is dangerous, and after watching my parents marriage fail because of it, I knew long ago Id never be a relationship kinda guy.
All of that changes when my best friend moves his recently widowedand pregnantyounger sister and her two kids in next door. Ive been crazy about Teddy for years. So when I happen to assist in an unexpected emergency home birth for her new baby, I find myself spending more and more time near her and her kids. Teddys heart is locked up like Fort Knox after losing her husband, and breaking down her defenses is damn near impossible but I want to show her that Im here to stay. For all of them.
As superintendent, my duty to my crew has always been my priority. But with Teddys heart on the line, can I give up the only life Ive ever known? Or am I doomed to be honor bound and lose the only woman Ive ever loved?
