He walked into fire for others. Now, she must walk away from everything for him.
Val Cruz, a decorated Marine Sergeant Major, faces an impossible command: return to duty, or stay by the side of the man she loves. Malcolm Bishop, a firefighter left broken and battling agonizing recovery after a heroic rescue, has only one plea: "Please... don't go."
Torn between the Corps that shaped her and the shattered man who needs her presence more than medicine, Val's choice will redefine honor, duty, and the fierce, stubborn love that fights for a future amidst the ashes. With only a cantankerous mechanic, a thieving cat, and their own battered hearts, they begin the long climb back together.
