When the shy nurse meets the confident firefighter, they'll create something combustible all on their own. Megan Gold isn't in any hurry to find love. She's happy with her life. She has a job she loves, a sister who is her best friend, and a dog who is great to cuddle with. So when her sister drags her to a speed dating event, she's less than enthusiastic. Simon Owens is focused on his career. Becoming the Lieutenant in his company at the New Hope Fire Department is his goal. He spends his days with his work family and his nights helping his brother with his two little children. A chance meeting between Megan and Simon leaves them both wishing they'd said more but fate puts them back in the same room just months later. Only this time, Megan is the new girl Simon's brother has been seeing. The two of them attempt to ignore the connection that they have but it's easier said than done. They will have to decide if what they could possibly have is worth potentially hurting those around them. They'll battle with jealousy, trust, and everything in between. And even when they think they have their happy ending, will it all go up in flames?

Falling in love with your best friend seems so cliche and doesn't really happen... Right? Kelly Gold has always been an optimistic person when it came to romance. Having the perfect family, she grew up watching her parents show her and her sister exactly how a marriage should be. It would only make sense that she'd want that for herself. Instead of finding her prince, however, she finds several frogs and each seems slimier than the last. Nick Christos doesn't do relationships. While people assume that his lack of commitment is because he enjoys playing the field, his reason is anything but. Falling in love with someone can't be on his agenda, no matter how much he wants it to be. A year after meeting each other, Kelly and Nick's friendship is cemented and both would do anything for the other. When one night changes absolutely everything, Nick asks Kelly for a favor that could unlock the door to his future. This one favor has the potential to blow up in their faces when they are both forced to face the deeper feelings they may have for one another. In the midst of it all, they'll encounter hurdles that threaten everything they've built. Coming to terms with their feelings, learning how to trust one another, and deciding just exactly what they want in the future is much easier said than done. When it feels like everything is burning around them, will they be reduced to ashes?

She burned out a long time ago but can the man she hates help her find herself again? Anyone who meets her will say that Victoria Jones has a chip on her shoulder. And they'd be right. The tough-as-nails firefighter doesn't take any crap from anyone and keeps herself locked away from even those she's closest to. Plagued by what happened years before when she trusted all too easy, she refuses to make that mistake again. Evan Coleman has dedicated his life to doing good in the world. The narcotics detective has a lot of regrets from things he's seen and parts he's played in the past, but he's determined to do right moving forward. He puts those he loves first and is always willing to lend a helping hand. When Tori and Evan come face-to-face after seven years, all she feels is animosity while he's filled with guilt. She wants nothing to do with the detective while he's determined to prove to the firefighter that he's not the man she once thought he was. Letting Evan in means allowing the walls Tori built to come down. Teaching her to trust again becomes a task he wants to take on. Between house fires, soccer games, drug investigations, and meddling friends, the two of them have to decide if they even stand a chance. Does playing with fire mean that you're bound to get burned?
