She’s just fine… but she really isn’t. He’s a coworker and is ready to make his move. When her ex finds her will she keep running or will she make her own move to blaze a new path in her life?
Millie
I stand at the forest’s edge, heart racing as flames consume the trees.
The thick smoke pulls me from my thoughts of Rusty Phoenix, the hotshot firefighter who ignites feelings in me I can’t ignore.
He’s my employee, and there’s an unspoken rule that makes him off-limits.
I fled to these mountains to escape my abusive ex, but now he’s out of prison and searching for me.
Panic seizes me as I hide in a cabin, only to face a wildfire threatening everything I hold dear.
Rusty charges in, ready to battle the flames for me, but the real fire is between us.
Rusty
Being a Hotshot firefighter is my dream, and I can’t let my focus waver, even if Millie steals every one of my thoughts.
But when she goes missing, I know I have to find her—even if it costs me my job or worse.
As we navigate the fire-ravaged woods, the tension between us flares.
Just when we think we’re alone, her ex appears, threatening our very survival.
With danger closing in, we must rely on each other, facing fears that might burn.
In this moment of chaos, can love bloom even in the darkest of times and will a raging fire reveal what truly matters?
