“When Wade Winslow left Millstown, Maryland he'd never looked back. He hadn't belonged there. The folks there saw him as "trailer trash". His abusive father had once killed a man and the folks in town looked at him as though he might just kill someone too. After his mother died he'd been taken in by one of the few decent people who found something worthy in him. Now Norm was dying and he owed it to the man to be at his bedside to say goodbye.

There was someone else in Millstown who had seen something special in him, the girl he left behind, Erin McCuen. Erin had been born into one of the old wealthy southern families, respectable, but like Wade she'd been abandoned by her jet-setting mother left her to be raised by her grandmother, which was just fine with Erin. Wade had been her defender, and as Erin grew into womanhood, she'd fallen hard for him. Even though she knew this town wasn't big enough to hold Wade she'd given herself to him and watched him ride away.
Wade had made a name for himself as a smoke-jumper, but coming back made him feel like "White trash Winslow" all over again. Still canny as every Norm sets Wade up and he finds himself a boarder at Erin's house. The old attraction is still there, but Wade soon realizes something isn't quite right when he notices Erin is selling the family's heirlooms. Athough he's definitely not going to stay, he's determined to solve her problems before he moves on and though Erin knows she can't hold him she's determined to enjoy him for however long he stays. As much as he enjoys being with Erin. Wade is determined to leave again once he's settled her and Norm's affairs. There's no place for him in Millstown, or is there?
It would spoil the story to go into detail but suffice it to say that Norm was a very wise man. Wade has more to contribute than even he knows, and even though it takes a disaster to change his perception of himself, all ends happily ever after.
Ms. Barrett's debut romance is a neat twist on the long lost love scenario. The reader will learn more about smoke- jumping in her second book Face the Fire which features Wade's best man Cade McKenzie.
