He was responsible for extinguishing fires, but he ignited a raging inferno inside her with just one touch. One whispered word. One flash of his gorgeous smile. Can Mark break down the shields around Angie's heart and earn her trust before the looming threat pulls her away from him and the only place she finally called home? Five years ago, Angie Smith left her past behind and made a new life in the small town of Rocky Falls. She buried her heartbreak under smiles and sarcasm. Even Angie's best friend, Jules, didn't know about her dark past. Having been burned too many times, she learned not to let anyone in. Which had never been a problem until the hunky fireman of the year comes waltzing in dripping with sex appeal and a touch that awakens her in ways she never thought possible. Mark Styles was the cover boy for the firemen's charity calendar with his million-dollar smile and bright baby blues. Every woman wanted him, but he had his sights set on only one, the beautiful blonde who was determined to keep her distance. Only he couldn't stay away. Never before had he felt such a strong reaction from something as simple as the brush of fingers. Everything about Angie intrigued him. So, when danger was at her door, he couldn't turn his back on the woman who set his soul on fire. Amid her best friend's wedding, Angie felt her new life take a turn for the worst when her car leaves her stranded outside of town, and her apartment is set ablaze. Mark's quick thinking saves her as the threat against her continues to escalate. Angie becomes uncertain of the danger lurking around every corner and finds solace in the arms of the man she spent the last year avoiding. The only man who had a chance of breaking through her emotional barrier. Will Mark be able to keep Angie safe as he works to win over her heart, or will the threat be too hot to handle?
