At thirty-five, Julie “JJ” Jensen is a star in the Crystal City fire department. She runs circles around other firefighters. When her talent leads to a fast-tracked promotion, she loses her boyfriend and gains a crew who resent her. Their first call is a hospital fire, where she saves the lives of both a doctor and his patient in the midst of open-heart surgery.
Dr. Nick Barrows immediately gravitates to JJ. She risked life and limb to save him and she’s easy on the eyes. When he pursues her, JJ is having none of it. The Sisters of Fire encourage her to give Nick a chance. But they live in opposite worlds: hers is fire houses and beer, his is galas and champagne.
Even though they grow closer and closer sharing their experiences, having quiet meals and sizzling sex at night, can she ever see herself permanently living his lifestyle or will she subject them both to what becomes biting loss?
