Heaven's Fire

"Heaven's Fire" is how Pasquale Firenze, patriarch of the family-owned Firenze Fireworks and a natural-born showman, describes his painting of the night sky with light, color, and noise. Wendy "Jake" Jacobus appreciates the man's artistry, but as the television producer covering Firenze's current display at the Lake Days festival, she has more practical considerations. Practical, that is, until Pasquale is killed--live on-camera--by an explosion, and Jake is hurled into a tangled web of emotions triggered by her job, her legacy as a cancer survivor, and her growing attraction to Simon Aamot, the federal agent assigned to the investigation. Aamot has problems as well, but when the two are forced together by the tragedy, the man unable to let go of his past and the woman afraid to trust her future race to prevent another catastrophic explosion--this one at the county's Fourth of July celebration.
