Firelight Days

When wildfires force an evacuation in her small town, baker and loner Penny Ridgeman seeks refuge at the only place she feels safe - Jack Olsen's family ranch in Eastern Oregon. For years, Penny has seen Jack as just a friend - even if he is, inconveniently, the most attractive man she knows. But just like you shouldn't mix-up salt and sugar in a cake, she believes that mixing love and friendship is a recipe for disaster.

Jack has always admired and respected Penny's need for solitude. And, as the town handyman, builder, and cat-in-a-tree-rescuer, he prides himself on being able to fix and figure out anything. But he can't understand why Penny holds herself back in her work. He can't see what's behind those stubborn, thick walls she keeps up. And he can't work out, for the life of him, why suddenly he can't stop thinking about her.

As the days stretch into quiet nights on the ranch, Penny and Jack start to see each other in a new light - one Penny is certain can only lead to getting seriously burned. With the world around them on fire and only each other for company, they find themselves in a whirlwind of emotions neither expected.

As the fire threatens to consume everything, Penny and Jack must decide whether to risk their friendship for something deeper... or will that go up in flames, too?
