He runs into burning buildings. The thing he can’t face is on the other side of a locked door.
Jesse Torres fights three-alarm fires for a living. He’s steady under collapse, calm in flashover, the guy who goes in when everyone else comes out. But after every shift, when the turnout gear comes off and the crew peels down in the engine bay — sweat-soaked T-shirts, steam rolling off tile, the guys hanging around just a little longer than necessary — Jesse’s pulse runs hotter than any structure fire.
A regular at the bar next door sends him upstairs. To The Back Room.
His guide is Marco — hands like a medic’s, voice that drops the temperature in a room by ten degrees. Marco doesn’t fight Jesse’s defenses. He walks straight through them. The firefighter who never flinches catches fire from the inside out.
