When wildfire threatens the quiet mountain town of Wren Hollow, big-city journalist Ava Morgan is sent home to cover the unfolding disaster. It’s been years since she left—and even longer since she last saw Noah Whitaker, the loyal fire captain who once held her heart. Assigned to ride alongside him for the story, Ava quickly realizes the flames aren't the only thing rekindling.
Noah has built a steady life out of loss, duty, and unspoken questions. He never expected to see Ava again—especially not with a press badge and a deadline. Their shared past still smolders beneath every glance, every silence, every moment spent in the truck driving through smoke and memory.
As the fires rage and the town leans on them both, Ava and Noah are forced to confront everything that burned between them—and everything that might still be worth saving.
Will they choose to rebuild what was lost, or walk away again before the ashes settle?
