If they do, she kicks them to the curb, happy to be on her own.Firefighter Finn left the nightmares of war behind, moving to Sanctuary Bay to be with his two youngest sisters. He's trying to act normal and like the hell of war isn't breathing down his neck with every step he takes. They meet in a bar, both fighting their immediate attraction with sarcasm and arguments. Neither wants to pursue anything more, but fate has other plans. As friends throw them together and they finally realize how good they can be together, can they survive the obstacles life throws at them?
