The good ol' boys' club has a saying: "Fire service is no place for a woman."
Lieutenant Isabela Delgado has two words for them: Watch me.
For years, Fire Lieutenant Isabela "Izzy" Delgado has proven herself on every call, earned every commendation, and protected every member of her crew. But when her mentor's cancer diagnosis collides with department politics, she discovers that being twice as good still only gets you half the respect. The captain's promotion she's earned is about to be handed to a well-connected rival who plays golf with the brass and thinks women belong anywhere but the fireground.
ER nurse Jimmy Dalton knows better than to fall for someone who runs toward danger for a living. After watching a domestic violence patient he couldn't save walk back into hell, he's learned that caring too much only leads to heartbreak. But there's something about the fierce lieutenant who brings her captain to his emergency room—something that makes him want to be brave enough to try again.
When Jimmy writes a letter defending Izzy to her battalion chief, he thinks he's fighting for the woman he loves. Instead, he hands her enemies the ammunition they need to destroy her career. Now she's lost everything she's worked for, and he's lost the only person who's ever made him feel whole.
Sometimes the most dangerous fires are the ones that burn inside us.
Sometimes the only way out of the smoke is to trust someone else to lead you home.
And sometimes being strong means letting someone see you break.
Genre: Romance
