When Natalie Dugan trades spreadsheets for scrub brushes, she hopes her new cleaning
business will give her independence—and the chance to care for her ailing mother. Love isn’t on
her agenda, but everything changes when she meets Aaron Marino, a reclusive ex-firefighter
scarred by the blaze that nearly claimed his life.
As a string of suspicious fires threatens their quaint Virginia town, every man in Natalie’s orbit
becomes a suspect: her hard-working new boyfriend, her mother’s unfairly maligned partner, her
unsettling neighbor, and even Aaron himself. But the closer Natalie gets to Aaron, the harder it
is to ignore the spark that refuses to extinguish.
When the truth behind the fires finally ignites, Natalie will have to confront betrayal, vengeance,
and danger that hits far too close to home. Survival—and love—depend on whether she can
brave the flames of the past … before they consume her.
