Lucy Hearfilia is out to follow her own path. The only catch is that she only has a year to prove to her father Jude that her dreams are worth it. If Lucy fails, she'll be married off in hopes of birthing a male heir. From the beginning she's fated to meet a firefighter, along with a cop. She'll make all types of new friends and run into old rivals. When a arsonist causes trouble will she lose her life or lose the race against her freedom? Will his traumatic past keep him from Lucy's love or will the reason for his traumatized past be the reason she loses her life? Will she be with him or forced to marry the other?
