Fire investigator Talia Rhodes believes in evidence, not hero worship. When a string of suspicious blazes all point to one house, she's sent to dissect Station 42... and its infuriatingly fearless captain. Jace Ryder charges into burning buildings like he's got nothing left to lose. The last thing he needs is a cool, controlled outsider questioning every decision-and lighting a different kind of fire under his skin. Every new blaze tightens the noose: a pattern no one wants to see, a rookie whose eagerness looks too much like hunger, and a captain who might be paying for someone else's crimes. Talia's report could ruin Jace... or prove he's the only one who's been sounding the alarm. They draw a line-no crossing it until the truth is on paper. But late-night kitchen arguments turn into confessions, trust builds in the smoke and ash, and the heat between them becomes harder to contain than any fire. When the real arsonist is finally exposed, Talia has one last choice: walk away clean, or step into the flames for the man she almost burned.
