When Ryan runs into firefighter Will Edwards, downhearted after a particularly fruitless and difficult rescue, he can see that Will could use a friend. Will Edwards is the new guy in town. He used to live in San Diego but moved for his job to Boston. Sadly, Boston ended up full of tragedy when Will's fiance was killed in a car crash.

Ryan is patient and compassionate but he deserves love as much as anyone else does. Can Will find his way past his grief to love again? less
