Cassie Hanwell thrives on emergencies. She has built her reputation as one of the few women firefighters in Texas, mastering every crisis that comes her way. Then her sick mother calls from Boston with a request that changes everything. Cassie must leave her comfortable firehouse and join a struggling Boston crew that wants nothing to do with a female firefighter. The men make their hostility clear through hazing and cold shoulders. The facilities are falling apart. The funding has dried up. Only the new rookie treats her with respect, and Cassie finds herself drawn to him despite her ironclad rule against dating fellow firefighters. Her old captain warned her about workplace romance, and she has worked too hard to risk her credibility now. But as Cassie fights to prove herself in Boston, she discovers that some fires burn too hot to extinguish.
