Jackson Pike is a fourth generation hotshot. He was hauling hoses when most boys were mowing lawns and his ego is big enough to prove it. He’s the crew leader and he doesn’t miss a moment to let someone, namely rookies, know it.

Sarah Peterson is a third generation journalist, following in the footsteps of her mother and grandfather. She doesn’t shy away from tough questions and when it comes to a story that interests her, she digs in with everything she’s got.

When a wildfire flares up and threatens homes in the Crescent Valley, Sarah finds herself trapped by the fire and up against the hard wall of egocentric Jackson Pike. Can Sarah show Jackson that he doesn’t have to strut his stuff constantly? Can Jackson learn to let his guard down without feeling as if he’s losing a vital part of himself?
