Twenty years ago, a fire stole Jocelyn Murphy’s mama and shattered her childhood, leaving only ashes behind.

Everyone called it an accident. Jocelyn never believed them. Now she’s back in Cedar Hollow, determined to uncover the truth—even if it means stirring up old grudges and waking ghosts the town would rather forget.

Cole Hauser can’t seem to get out from under the shadow of his daddy, the firefighter hailed as a hero for saving Jocelyn that night. But Jocelyn’s questions threaten to crack open the story his family is built on. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes—for them both.

Passion ignites where old wounds and buried lies collide. In Cedar Hollow, Tennessee, secrets burn hotter than desire—and some flames never die.
