You can’t fight what you can’t see. And Gabriel Raines can’t be sure just who’s setting the fires in his new real-estate development. When two fires hit back-to-back, he knows it’s personal, but any number of competitors or ex-employees could be the arsonist.
The police suspect Angel Ramirez, a local teen who’s been in trouble before. But Mattie Baker, a volunteer at the Family Abuse center, just can’t believe the kid she’s been working with would go back to his delinquent ways.
Determined to convince Gabe that she’s right, Mattie must get close to him and find out who’s putting their neighborhood in jeopardy. And just as the arsonist’s flames continue to burn, they find a heat developing between them. It might just turn into a full-fledged fire…if they can survive long enough.

Summary
Overall Against the Fire is part of The Raines of Wind Canyon series and features Gabe. Gabe is a delicious exmarine alpha male. Gabe is dealing with an arsonist
and there are many suspects to choose from. Mattie is a career driven hot redhead. She volunteers with the Family Recovery Center which is how she ends up crossing paths with Gabe. One of her clients is accused of the arson on Gabe’s property. She believes he is innocent. Gabe is able to recognize the sexy woman hiding behind the severe
hairstyle and gray suits. When fate intervenes and they both end up at Club Rio, the chemistry is combustible. Gabe’s brother Devlin helps with the investigation
which creates enough intrigue for us to read his book next. There is a secondary story line with Mattie’s friend Tracey and Gabe’s best friend Sam. I enjoyed
their story and Sam’s resolve.
