For Navy SEAL Tye Callahan, Strong, California is a debt of honor and temporary detour in his military career. He's fought hard in Afghanistan and he won't stop until the battle is won. When an ambush he should have prevented kills one of his teammates, however, Tye steps up and steps in to fill the fallen man's obligations. One summer in Strong fighting fires with the smoke jumper team. One fiancée to look out for and get back on her feet. But the adrenaline rush of fighting fire, of jumping into the heart of the flames and pitting wits and body against the inferno, is nothing compared to the rush of coming face to face with Katie Lawson…

Now, as the summer heats up one sexy task at a time, they must decide if the chemistry burning between them might just be their second chance at living their own lives… together.
