Falyn Fairchild can walk away from anything. Already leaving behind her
car, her education, and even her parents, the daughter of the next
governor of Colorado is back in her hometown, broke and waiting tables
for the Bucksaw Cafe. After every shift, Falyn adds to her shoebox of
cash, hoping to one day save enough to buy her a plane ticket to the
only place she can find forgiveness: Eakins, Illinois.
The moment Taylor Maddox is seated in Falyn's section at the Bucksaw,
she knows he's trouble. Taylor is charming, breaks promises, and is
gorgeous even when covered in filth--making him everything Falyn
believes a hotshot firefighter to be. Falyn isn't interested in becoming
another statistic, and for a Maddox boy, a disinterested girl is the
ultimate challenge.
Once Falyn learns where Taylor calls home, everything changes. In the
end Maddox's persistence is met with Falyn's talent for leaving, and for
the first time Taylor may be the one to get burned.
