When firefighter Austin Monroe is called to the scene of burning cottages, he is surprised to find his late partners widow, nurse Lindsey Winters, and her young son among the victims!

Lindsey and her son are left homeless by the fire. Austin offers to let them stay with him, but Lindsey is determined to go it alone. Austin, however, is equally determined to help them.

He realises that what Lindsey needs right now is support and friendship, so he tries his best to fight his intense attraction to her. Austin must be patient and play it carefully if he wants to make their temporary arrangement permanent.
