Some rescues save more than just lives.

Patrick I'd given up on finding love -- at forty-six, I figured that ship had sailed. Then I pulled Emma and her five-year-old daughter from a wrecked car during the worst snowstorm in years, and the legendary "Lawson Lightning Bolt" struck again. But Emma's just passing through our small mountain town, and single moms don't fall for guys who still live with their mothers... do they?

Emma After my ex abandoned us, I swore off men completely. So when the ridiculously handsome Fire & Rescue commander offers us a place to stay at his family home while my car gets repaired, I tell myself it's just temporary. His sweet mother treating us like family and him teaching my daughter how to make a snowman - that's just small-town kindness, right? It has nothing to do with the way my heart races every time he walks into a room.

But with Patrick's matchmaking mother orchestrating every excuse to throw us together and me putting down roots in the town, temporary starts feeling a lot more permanent. Living under the same roof is doing dangerous things to my carefully guarded heart, especially when the whole town seems determined to make sure the Lawson Lightning Bolt doesn't miss its mark.

Can a woman who's been burned before trust that this mountain man's love is real -- and that some fairy tales do come with happily ever after?

"Call for Rescue" is an instalove second chance midlife romantic comedy with a matchmaking mother, a precocious kid who's wise beyond her years, and absolutely no third-act breakup. If you love protective heroes who fall first, independent heroines learning to trust again, and small towns full of meddling matchmakers, this is your next binge read!
