Through the Flames

Kyle Wilson's childhood was shaped by self-doubt and a painful home life, and he often lashed out as a boy. When he came out as gay, his family cut him off. He has since steadied his life and built a construction business, only for a fire to injure him and force him away from work for a time that costs him dearly.

Firefighter Hayden Walters pulls a man from a burning building as part of his job, never expecting the stranger to be his former high school tormentor. When Kyle arrives at the fire station to thank him in person, the two men first have to get through some uncomfortable apologies. Afterward, they discover they have more in common than either expected.

The fire at Kyle's worksite turns out to have been set deliberately to target him, and the two men agree to help each other. Hayden needs a place to live while his apartment is renovated, and Kyle does not want to be alone in case the arsonist returns. Their attraction builds quickly, but so do the culprit's plans. Can they identify the person determined to kill Kyle before that person succeeds?
