Here's a quick blurb of Into the Flame.
Into the Flame is a contemporary story about Chicago firefighter Jack Lawrence and newspaper reporter Kendra Saxton. Jack and Kendra meet when he rescues her from a burning high rise where she's working as a legal assistant. The destruction of the building, and death of her boss, leaves Kendra without a job. Weeks later she meets Jack again at an awards banquet for the search and rescue team of Ladder 62. After a slow dance, and plenty of sexual attraction, they begin seeing each other.
Passion burns between them hotter than the blazes that Jack fights. Unable to live on love (and sex) alone, Kendra makes a decision to change career paths after seeing a picture of Jack on the front page of the Chicago Daily Newspaper. She turns to the newspaper offering her services as a photographer/reporter. Receiving a less than enthusiastic reception to her offer, she promises to give the Daily that which it cannot seem to achieve, an exclusive interview with local hero, Jack Lawrence. Unknown to Kendra, Jack has a distrust of the press because they always seem to be in the way when he's trying to save a life.
A serious misunderstanding about Kendra's motives for becoming a reporter tears the two of them apart. While they are at odds, Kendra throws herself into her work and soon becomes the lead reporter for the newspaper, earning the hatred and jealousy of George "Buck" Roberts, the Daily's former top reporter. In an attempt to force Kendra to give up her successful career, Buck goes after the one thing he knows will hurt Kendra the most to lose, fireman Jack Lawrence. When Kendra learns Jack has deliberately been trapped in a burning building because of a story that she covered, she nearly loses her own life trying to save him. That is the catalyst that brings the two of them back together, but Jack and Kendra are not out of danger yet. They must learn how to work together to survive.
