Danielle Grant, 24, has just landed her dream job as a Crisis Intervention Social Worker at LAFD's Station 118. But her excitement is short-lived-because her new captain is Bobby Nash, the father who hasn't recognized her since a fire took half their family seven years ago. Bobby's memory of Danielle was erased by trauma, and in his grief, he rebuilt his life-with a new wife, new stepkids, and no space for the daughter he forgot.

Now, forced to work beside him, Danielle struggles to balance professionalism with heartbreak, hiding her true identity and the scars of her past.

Enter Evan "Buck" Buckley-Bobby's golden boy and fiercely loyal protégé. Buck instantly feels threatened by Danielle's presence, and the two clash with intense chemistry and simmering resentment. Watching from the sidelines is Eddie Diaz, Buck's best friend and a devoted single dad. Eddie sees through Danielle's walls, and their connection builds slowly-until one kiss changes everything.

As emotions spiral and lines blur, Danielle finds herself torn between two men-and two futures. What starts as rivalry, resentment, and unresolved grief slowly evolves into something unexpected: love, healing, and the possibility of a family made from the ashes.

In the end, maybe love isn't a choice. Maybe it's a collision.
And maybe the only way forward is together.

Through Fire and Falling Stars

26 parts Complete

In the wake of fire and chaos, Buck and Eddie find something neither of them expected-each other. From long shifts at Station 118 to quiet breakfasts with Christopher, their bond deepens in the in-between moments. But love isn't always simple, especially when it's built in the ashes of trauma, loss, and second chances. This slow-burn romance traces the journey of two best friends navigating fatherhood, fire calls, and the blurred lines between brotherhood and something more. As they finally admit the truth buried under years of loyalty and longing, they begin to build a life filled with healing, laughter, and love-brick by brick, kiss by kiss. From shared glances at the firehouse to heartfelt vows under a canopy of wildflowers, this is a story of choosing love every single day-through fear, through fire, and forever.
