Wildfire fighter Nate Beckett has been sidelined by an injury when his mother begs him to return to Carlisle, Colorado, now that his father has been released from prison. Fourteen years ago Nate was in love with Breanna Strickland, the preacher's daughter. When the two snuck out to be together, the fight between Strickland and Nate's drunken dad was loud and very public. Strickland was murdered later that night, and everyone accused Roy Beckett. When the church burned down, people assumed it was Nate getting even for his father's conviction. Now in a brutal custody battle with her ex, Breanna has turned to alcohol to cope. Nate is the steady force Brenna has so desperately needed--but she'll have to learn to trust him again first.
