Eloise Beck is no stranger to loss. After the unexpected passing of her dad in high school, she'''s spent nearly the last decade piecing her life back together and sealing her emotions up behind a wall. As long as she keeps herself busy–creating beautiful pastries and running her own bakery–and doesn’t let anyone in enough to love her fully, she can protect herself from experiencing such a loss ever again. But the stability she’s worked so hard to build soon goes up in literal flames, and she finds herself landing in the safe hands of her best friend, Miller.

Miller Donovan, generational firefighter for the city of Hartford, Connecticut, has only met one fire he couldn’t extinguish–the spark he''s always held for his childhood best friend, Eloise. He knows he must put his feelings for Eloise aside as he helps her navigate another tragedy in her life, but he never expects that she may feel the same way he always has.

Their close proximity quickly leads to lingering glances, small touches, and whispered confessions as they both do their best to resist the ever-growing tension between them. This newfound connection feels forbidden after years of denying it, but once the fire is lit, it’s hard to put out.

As lines are crossed, Eloise struggles to hold onto their friendship with a dying grip, fearing that if she lets go, she’ll lose Miller forever. And if she loses him, she loses everything.
