Come hell or high water, she's going to find her missing brother at Ground Zero. If this sexy stranger wants to help her, all the better. Abby needs help, and she needs it bad. Her firefighter brother went MIA on 9/11, and she'll risk anything to find him. That includes taking along the gorgeous hitchhiker she picked up off the side of the freeway. Hank Finster knows trouble when he sees it, and Abby is one giant flashing warning sign. Still, she's determined to bring her brother home, and Hank can't let her enter danger alone. They have no plans on falling in love, but it might be the only light as they plunge into the darkness of Ground Zero. WARNING: This prequel to Smolder is a full of heart-wrenching moments and love mixed with the actual events following 9/11. Think Grey’s Anatomy and Chicago Fire if you added more tears, snark, and a sexy instalove HEA between our lady and that sexy hitchhiker.
