Chrysto Paxson is the kind of firefighter everyone looks up to-level-headed, composed under pressure, and impossible to read. Rafael Souza, on the other hand, burns a little hotter: passionate, impulsive, and quietly in love with Chrysto from the day they met at the station. For a little while, Rafael kept his feelings buried, content to admire from afar. But one day, he finds the courage to tell Chrysto the truth. What follows is a slow, careful build-two men learning to trust not just each other, but the possibility of something lasting in a world that can change in a flash. Just as their love begins to take hold, Rafael's past roars back to life. Torn between responsibility and the man he finally let into his heart, Rafael makes the wrong decision-and loses Chrysto in the process. But love, like fire, has a way of finding what still burns beneath the surface.
