At eight, Kathy Scolari failed to rescue her younger brother from a fire. His death left her with both emotional and physical scars. Her entire being is closed off from emotions, living for the day she will be reunited with her brother. Candy Kane also has emotional scars. Unlike Kathy, she has never allowed them to hold her back from truly living. There is one exception. She has never allowed herself to truly love someone or receive love. What happens when Kathy, a firefighter, rescues Candy, a bookstore owner, from a fire? Will the firefighter finally learn to live? Will the bookstore owner learn to fully open her heart? Or have they both been too badly burned?

It’s four months after the tragic events of Once Burned. Kathy Scolari, a firefighter, is now wheelchair bound. Not only has she been harmed physically, but the accident has caused regression to her emotional state as well. Instead of relying on her family, especially her soulmate, she is continually pushing them away. Candy is beside herself. The fact she is being pushed away is breaking her heart. Worse? Dangers from corrupt forces are threatening their fight for survival as a couple. Is it possible her own sister is one of the ones out to get them and do harm to them in any way possible?
