Aiden Callaway abandoned his family's firefighting tradition to become a smokejumper. Now a tragic accident has killed his friend Kyle and left Aiden with broken memories and serious injuries. Everyone holds him responsible for what happened that day, but Aiden cannot recall the events. The truth might exonerate him, yet it could also damage Kyle's memory and devastate his loved ones. Desperate for answers, Aiden turns to Sara, his sister's closest friend and the girl who lived next door. Years ago, one impulsive night changed everything between them, but Aiden destroyed what they had built. Sara has moved beyond her teenage infatuation and become a woman pursuing her own answers. The attraction between them burns as strong as ever, but Sara fears trusting a man who shattered her heart once before. Aiden understands the destructive power of fire better than most. They were too young to handle their feelings as teenagers. The question now is whether they are finally ready for each other.
