Delaney Newell knows what it means to be powerless. Against the family who wouldnβt support her. Against the man she loved who betrayed her. Against the gossips who wonβt let her forget it. But after years of struggling, sheβs finally getting her life together.
Sean Murphy has spent years fighting forest fires. The former hotshot turned forester knows the growth that can sprout from unfathomable destruction. Thatβs what he sees in Delaneyβsomeone who got leveled by life but didnβt stop growing. He's spent the past several months watching the shy red-head blossom, and he really likes what he sees.
When Delaney is accused of a crime she didnβt commit, everyone is willing to believe the worst of her. Everyone except Sean. The woman he knows couldnβt possibly be behind the rash of fires that are keeping the volunteer fire department hopping. Someone is deliberately framing her. Will Delaney trust him enough to help her find the real culprit?
