Sometimes the strongest flames take the longest to ignite.
Firefighter Dean's life revolves around his very ill son, Sammy. Caring for Sammy and working to make ends meet leave Dean time for little else, and romance isn't something he can even consider—no matter how much he longs for someone special to join their family. Because money is tight, Dean couldn't be more grateful to the photographer who does Sammy's session free of charge.
After growing up in the foster care system, Marco knows how to rely on himself, and his hard work is about to pay off—he's poised on the cusp of fame and success he could only have imagined as a lonely child. When Dean brings Sammy into Marco's studio, Marco can see they're struggling, and both the boy and his father stir Marco's heart. The slow burn between the two men isn't something either expected, but neither wants to lose the possibility of a loving future. With Dean's dangerous and possibly life-threatening career and Marco's demanding one, can romance and forever find a place to fit?
