Despite the center's no PDA rule, an instant attraction simmers between an expert search and rescue instructor and a broody firefighter during summer training. Axel Hammerstone returns from overseas with a Purple Heart. As tribute to his battle buddies who never made it home, he's determined to devote the rest of his career to search and rescue operations. Kristi Kimiko is living her dream as an expert search and rescue instructor at the Texas Hotline Training Center. Unfortunately, it leaves her little time for dating. When the hunky Axel half-limps and half-swaggers into her renowned dog training course with his beautiful golden retriever, she is immediately drawn to him - and soon finds herself serving as his plus one at a family birthday celebration. If she's learned anything in her line of work, where there's smoke, there's fire; and this particular firefighter has a way of making the sparks fly every time he looks in her direction!
