Shaun Bartley has poured everything into restoring his great-great-grandfather’s Magnolia Springs home. But when the smell of smoke cuts through the Alabama heat, his dream is seconds from disaster. He calls for help—only to face the last person he wants to see: Sierra Beaumonte. His ex-wife. The woman who walked away…and is now the town’s new Deputy Fire Marshal.

When the flames close in, will they find a second chance…or be consumed by the past that tore them apart?
