A promotion and a new love interest turn into a nightmare for Buddy West when a fatal fire implicates him, and the woman he's falling in love with is the lead investigator.

Firefighter Buddy West is at the height of his career, having just been promoted to lieutenant. Even better, a sexy new neighbor moves in across the street. Despite her job as an Internal Fire Investigator potentially causing problems in a budding relationship, it doesn't stop sparks from flying. That is until a fire takes the life of one of their own and Buddy becomes the center of the investigation.

When Internal Fire Investigator Kaelie Star first meets Buddy West, she sees him as the sexy-as-hell, clean-cut boy-next-door type. However, her perspective changes dramatically when his missing gas can is found at the scene of the fire that killed a fellow firefighter. Kaelie finds herself in the unenviable position of interrogating the man she's falling in love with.

Kaelie doesn't want to believe Buddy is guilty, but the evidence against him is too damaging to ignore. However, as the investigation takes a dark and dangerous twist, Kaelie finds herself relying on Buddy. Together, in the burning rubble, they uncover lies so devastating that they will change the direction of their lives forever.
