Kindling Embers

She never thought she'd be raising her daughters alone. But when Deputy Fire Marshal Cassandra McCarthy's husband died unexpectedly, she was forced to find a career.

First, a paramedic starts to work at one of her firehouses, irritating her with the most ridiculous names. And then the evidence in a series of unexplained fires points in a direction she doesn't like. Can she continue to do her job with integrity and passion when she doesn't like where it leads her?
