“In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is
then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all
be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.”
-Albert Schweitzer
For Dr. Katy Garrity, life is a whirlwind, and the New York Fire Department is the heart of the storm. After claiming so many people she loved, including her own husband, Katy is left adrift, trying to keep up with a busy career, a baby son, and her loving extended family. Her only anchor is Jesse O'Neil, her late husband's best friend. The charming former playboy has put his entire life on hold to care for Katy and her son. It's inevitable that sparks will flare between them, but all of life seems to be conspiring to keep them apart. Especially Katy's own heart, which shies away from trusting another firefighter. Will the flames of passion burst into a lifetime of love? Or will secrets burn away their connection, causing Dr. Garrity to be burned again?

Jesse crumbled the cup
in his hand and tossed it on the ground. When he turned around, Patrick Doyle
ran into him. Shoving Doyle against the fire truck, Jesse fisted his shirt and
moved his face within inches of the other man’s. “Watch where you’re going,
asshole.”
Immediately, Lieutenant
Dan Murphy, or Murph as the guys called him, pulled Jesse off the younger
fireman. “Come on, O’Neil, let him go.”
Doyle avoided making eye
contact with Jesse just like he always did since the accident. The accident
that Doyle caused that killed his best friend, Nick Garrity. It had been over a
year ago, but Jesse hadn’t let it go and he wasn’t sure he ever would. The
whole situation pissed him off—losing his best friend, watching Katy’s heartbreak, and knowing
her son was being raised without a father. Jesse shoved Doyle one more time
then walked away before he did something he would regret.
Murph followed him and
patted his back. “Jesse, you’re going to have to let it go.”
Jesse spun around to
face Murph, his eyebrows furrowed and anger seethed in his eyes. “Let it go?
He’s responsible for killing the best firefighter Engine 58’s ever seen! We
should have let him quit when he asked.”
Murph shook his head.
“You don’t mean that. Garrity put his life on the line for that kid. If he quit
then, Nick he would have done it for no reason. It’s our job now to make him
one of the best we have on our crew.” Murph clamped his hand on Jesse’s
shoulder and squeezed tightly. “Jesse, you need to do this for Nick.”
