Fire Chief Andi O'Rourke is considered by her town and her crew a great firefighter, and an even better supervisor. Used to being around firefighters, as that has always been the family business, she is not afraid to direct her staff, and does so with a passion for the job.

However, her personal life is a zero. She is clueless when it comes to the opposite sex as she has always been accepted as one of the guys. That is to everyone except fire investigator Tucker Fields, who dreams of making it with Andi, as he sees her as a great firefighter but also a desirable woman, not one of the guys. He has Andi pondering if it is okay to be a competent firefighting sexy woman, that is when she does not fear her feelings for him. As they work closely together, Tucker wants to set the night on fire with Andi, who he believes can be his peer on the job and his lover forever.

The lead duet make this firefighting romance hot and fun, as Tucker tries to persuade Andi that she can be a desirable woman and a competent firefighter. The storyline is driven by this pair as they work undercover, and he wants to go under the covers with his beloved. Though both are professionals, the arson investigation takes a back seat to the BODY HEAT generated between Tucker and Andi.
