Victoria “Vic” Paige thought she was firmly back in the saddle since returning to her job as a firefighter after a three-year hiatus. These past twelve months with her new crew at Station 3 have rebuilt her confidence. That is until they are called to a motel fire where she stumbles onto the scene of a murder, which has her shaken to the core. But a pair of calm blue eyes and the deep composed voice of the first detective on the scene restores her equilibrium.

As a recent transplant from the Denver PD to the smaller Durango force, Detective Bill Evans is enjoying the slower pace. So when he is called to a motel fire, he doesn’t expect it to be the first in a series of gruesome murders, bringing back unwelcome memories. The only high point is finding the familiar, beautiful, blond-haired firefighter on the scene. Despite the heavy workload inevitable with a difficult case like this, he’s determined not to let that stroke of good luck go to waste.

However, when the killer turns the investigation personal, Evans finds himself reconnecting with his former partner, Quint Axton, as he scrambles to keep those he cares about safe.

This is the eighth book in the series. They can be read as standalone books. What drew me to this book was the heroin is a firefighter her name is Vic. Bill is a detective. They met at a call right at the beginning of the book. Vic has had issues with another firefighter in the past and he is back now. Vic and Bill have a connection right away. The call the attend begins a larger case. I like that the characters older and have life experience. The case Bill is working could be related to a past case of his. If it is Vic and his daughter could be in danger. Vic is a wonderful woman. She has worked her butt off to respected in her field. However, that has taken a toll on her. Bill doesn’t treat her differently but at the same time makes her feel taken care of and protected. He looks out for her in other ways while allowing her to still independent. This case takes us on a wild ride. I love the mix of the mystery of the case and the romance between Bill and Vic. The book is perfect balance of the two. I really liked these characters. I have read a few of the books from this series and I look forward to reading more of them. I love Freya’s books. She is a fantastic author. Congrats on another great book Freya.
