  When her relationship goes up in flames, Holly Funchess jumps straight back
  into the heat—by becoming a firefighter. Running as far away from her past as

  With everything to prove, she has no problem putting her love life on the back
  burner. But where there’s smoke…
  
  
  
  
  
  A former football player with a string of failed relationships behind him,

  when their skirmishes turn into
  
  
  full-contact workouts—and they face off against the dangers of their
  jobs—Chase and Holly must choose between letting the clock run down or playing
  to win…. .
