A&E doctor Heather Cooper isn't looking for love. She's got her career and her daughter to keep her busy. But when she crosses paths with a daring firefighter, she's frightened by the strength of her emotions – she doesn't want another hero in her life. As a firefighter, Ross Tanner isn't afraid of danger. Heather may be held back by her fears – but he is not. To Ross, life is too short not to live it to the fullest, and he's determined to prove to Heather that his love for her and her daughter is too precious to ignore.
