Alex Hernandez has been a hotshot firefighter for five years. He spends the majority of his time with his crew and when heโs not fighting fires, heโs trying to convince himself that getting involved with a crew member is a bad idea. As a wolf, he follows his instincts in every situation. But as a man, following his instincts could cost him his job, or worse.
Ava Schoenguard is barely past her rookie season and much to the amazement of just about everyone sheโs survived. Not just that, sheโs thriving as a hotshot. Sheโs smart, capable and after a solid six months under her belt, sheโs back for another round of relentless work.
Ava is like every other woman, with needs and wants that donโt necessarily coincide with her current lifestyle. She knows the rules of fight fires with her crew and rule number one, even if itโs unspoken, is that you donโt get involved romantically with anyone on your crew. If only she could get her head and her heart on the same page.
Can Ava and Alex have anything beyond the fire line or will they have to give up the jobs they love for any sort of personal life? When Alex and Ava both discover the other is a shifter, will it bring them closer together, or tear them apart for good?
