New York's hottest fireman just got hotter. As a top journalist, I'll do anything for a story. The hotter the story, the better. And hot's just what I get when Stone Black from the Fire Station 128 came into my life. Love wasn't part of the plan, but those gorgeous green eyes and a hose big enough to put out my fire won me over. I try to keep it physical, my career allowing no time for romance, but I soon learn there's more than meets the eye with Stone. He's not just one of New City's finest fireman, he's a loving single father. Now, he's ready to tear down my professional boundaries, to take what he wants. Soon I'm dangerously close to my story, and only Stone can protect me. And when I find out I'm carrying his baby, it's clear that if I'm not careful I just might get burned. Maybe...that's just what I want.
