Karen loves her solitary life as a fire-spotter—but she lives for the brief transition every six months when she and sexy ranger David swap places. Their preferred relationship consists of those few days of smoldering-hot passion.

Now the decommissioning  of their ranger station threatens to leave the hermits without a hermitage. And threatens to leave the lovers without their biannual tryst.
