Seamus DeLuca loves his family and his job as a firefighter, but he's slightly horrified by how his older siblings are getting married and settling down. He's glad he's too young to be expected to follow suit for at least a few years.
Nina Braden has her hands full with an irresponsible ex-husband and adopted twin daughters, not to mention starting her post-grad work and a new teaching position at the university. A new relationship is the last thing she's looking for.
But the tragic death of Nina's twin brother, Neal, brings her back in contact with Seamus, whom she hasn't seen since high school. She desperately wished he didn't still make her weak at the knees.
Neal's death seems like a tragic suicide, but it soon becomes apparent there's much more going on and Nina could be the next victim.
