| Plot Summary of Standing Outside The Fire |
"When Boone Devlin inherits a horse ranch from a man he once rescued from death, he gets more than he bargained for--especially when he meets the ranch manager, Erin Frye. The two meet accidentally at the airport when they are stranded by a storm. Without knowing who the other really is, they engage in what they think is a harmless flirtation. To Boone's shock, he learns that Erin is a virgin. Even though he's a playboy with no plans for ever giving up his bachelorhood, he embarks on an affair with Erin, who desperately wants a husband and family.
