Description from the book back cover:

His memory of her was a fire he couldn't put out. Judd Calhoun - fire fighter trapped in his own burning hell. Darcy Kerrigan Fisher - widowed mother with a twenty-year-old memory she couldn't forget. Years ago Judd Calhoun had accidently started a fire, a fire that had taken her father's life and his foster sister's love. Burned and scarred where no one could see, and alone with his guilt, he had become a firefighter, desperately trying to expunge his memories. Now Judd was fire chief in the town he had thought he would never come home to, desperate to see something other than hatred burning bright in Darcy's blue eyes ...

5.0 out of 5 stars DEFINITELY A KEEPER!, August 6, 2003

In 73 Judd Calhoun created his own hell!

Years later he returns to Grantley to the funeral of Chief Michael Francis Kerrington. His thick blond beard now heavily threaded with gray, his uniform that of the San Francisco Fire Department, his badge the gold of a battalion chief. A great guy to have next to you in a burning building but lousy husband material. Definitely a loner.

Darcy Kerrigan Fisher, now twenty years late, is a widowed mother with a pear orchard to manage, daughters to raise and a hell of her own to clear up.

Judd soon learns from Prudy, a pregnant 16 year old, that Darcy had been like her, wanting to plan her life with her love, only he left her and broke her heart, like Prudy's Arturo.

Darcy had fallen in love later and married a great guy but he had drowned in the Rogue River a few years ago.

But now Judd has a mystery of fires to contend with and he wants to help Darcy - but can he?

You will not believe who the villian turns out to be or his reasons.

Judd and Darcy make strong efforts to find each other. Their love is revitalized and encompesses the children.

The characters are great! the story inthralling. the mystery is satisfying.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --M - Ah well, don't pass this one up.
