What this book is about
Cassie Hanwell is one of the best firefighters in Texas — tough, disciplined, and deeply private. When she's forced to transfer to a Boston firehouse, she walks into a crew that doesn't want her there. The rookie she's assigned to mentor, Owen, turns out to be someone who sees her in ways she's not ready for. Katherine Center writes firefighting with real procedural detail and crafts a romance about someone learning that strength and vulnerability can coexist.
