Nate Beckett has spent his life fighting wildfires instead of the lies and rumors that drove him from his Colorado hometown. His mother begs him to come back now that his father has been released from prison, but it isnât until heâs sidelined by an injury that heâs forced to return and face his past. But that means facing Brenna too.
Fourteen years ago, Nate was in love with the preacherâs daughter. When Pastor Strickland discovered Brenna had defied him to sneak out with Nate, the fight between the Pastor and Nateâs drunken dad was loudâand very public. The Pastor was found murdered later that night, and everyone accused Nateâs father, Roy, of the murder. When the church burned down not long after, people assumed Nate set the fire to get even for his fatherâs conviction. He let the rumors fly and left town without looking back.
Brenna is stunned to learn that the man convicted of murdering her father has been pardoned. The events of that night set her life on a bad course, and now sheâs fighting a brutal custody battle with her ex and his new wife where heâs using lies and his familyâs money to sway the judge. Brenna is barely hanging on.
As Nate and Brenna deal with the presentâincluding new information about that fateful night and a wildfire thatâs threatening their townâthe past keeps igniting. Nate is the steady force Brenna has so desperately needed. But sheâll have to learn to trust him again first.
