The excerpt starts out as more of a romance than suspense. Anne Ashburn is a firefighter (note the punny last name ... Ash - burn). The story begins with the crew heading out to fight a warehouse fire. During the ride, Anne is musing over the good looks and previous encounter with a certain Dannyboy Maguire. However, the action immediately picks up when they arrive at the fire and she finds herself under a collapsed ceiling.
The story moves along well as you get your first introduction to the characters I the story and the excerpt ends with a bang ... leaving the reader wondering whether she will be rescued (likely, otherwise this would be a very short book) and wondering how the relationships will work out.
