Fire was creeping closer to Meloras comfortable world the day the violent earthquake turned beautiful San Francisco into a burning, smoky nightmare. Melora had been about to make a crucial decision about her life and her love – her thoughts were swirling with handsome Quent Seymour of Nob Hill. But fate had another plan. Amid the angry flames of a crumbling city, Tony Ellis appeared, and suddenly Melora found herself plunged into a whirlpool of romantic conflict from which there was only one secret escape. And that secret was locked in her heart.
