Agent Anastacia has always been protective of her personal space. Her co-workers respect her wishes, and her world proceeds in the secure way that makes her happy. Until she's forced to step out of her comfort zone and take her war-stricken, newly orphaned, Ukrainian cousin under her wing. Fifteen-year-old Hanna needs a lot of understanding, comforting… love. Not particularly something Ana feels she's capable of providing.
Now, Nash Ralph, a fun-loving, carefree, firefighting hotshot is a whole different story. They meet on a journey to the lake area where his openness and spontaneity comes easy… without his insides twisting into a traumatic mess.
They say opposites attract. But for Anastasia and Nash, they just set each other off, and sparks fly. Ones they have to ignore when a killer – the same one that Hanna suspects murdered her parents in Ukraine – shows up in their area. Suddenly, people begin dropping like flies.
Wild forest fires, dead bodies, a challenging killer to arrest, and a romance that's hotter than the approaching flames makes this story a page turner till the end.
