Very few people can say they almost hooked up with their boss. Hardly anyone can say he was also their ex’s dad… Edwin Lyons is about twenty years older, several inches taller, and significantly richer. But that last part is no surprise. He is the CEO of the Lyons Club, after all, and I am so deep in debt that I couldn’t see the surface if I tried. The kicker? He has no idea his new nightclub manager—yours truly—used to date his son. I know exactly who he is, but that still doesn’t stop me from kissing him. From giving in to those dark eyes. From letting him dominate me in more ways than I ever thought imaginable.

In August 1979, along a remote ridgeline near Santa Maria, four firefighters from a California Division of Forestry (CDF) engine crew, were preparing to defend the northern flank of the Spanish Ranch fire. Captain Ed Marty, and firefighters; Scott Cox, Ron Lorant and Steve Manley responded to the fire from the Nipomo fire station. They were all from California, but were as different as the golden state's angles, aspects and arenas. They were defined more from where they were from; Tehama, Goleta, Long Beach and La Habra. No one predicted what would happen next-but in a page from man versus nature, the fire accelerated and then swept across the face of the slope which the four young firefight...
