Fire Chief Duke Broebeck has everything he ever dreamed off-a beautiful wife, a precious baby daughter, and another one on the way. Life couldn't get any better-until a deadly car accident costs him everything.
When disaster strikes Howe Firehouse again, only one person can help Duke-paramedic Ellen Foreman Brewer-former Fire Chief John Brewer's widow. She doesn't work for Duke the way the rest of the crew does, so she's the only person who can truly be there for him.
Not everyone is happy about the growing bond between these two injured souls. When what starts off as caring and compassion for Duke's tragedy turns to more, the result could derail everything the fire crew has worked to build since John's death. Can the firehouse family survive another devastating blow or will this be the straw that finally tears Howe Firehouse apart?
