Paramedic Zoe Chambers can be used to protecting lives, however when she stops a man from running right into a raging inferno within a futile attempt to rescue his wife, Zoe finds herself attracted to him, and even more to his ten-year-old daughter. She invites them both to live in the farm while the grieving widower accumulates the bits of his life.

Vance Township Police Key Pete Adams, of course, is not happy with this setup, especially when he sees evidence implicating Zoe’s new houseguest in murder instances two. When Zoe ignores Pete’s dire warnings, she runs the very actual chance of burning one too many bridges, losing everything-and everyone-she retains dear.
