Rescuing Dawn

Book excerpt: He helps save lives, now he wants to save hers. Life is easier when you’re alone—that’s the motto Dawn Granger lives by after everyone she’s ever loved has abandoned her. Working the nightshift is her salvation. She can’t date anyone if she works every night. She’s found the perfect way to keep her heart safe. That is, until her former high school sweetheart bursts back into her life, shaking the very walls she’s erected around herself. Andrew Holmes has sailed the world. Older and wiser he knows now that adventure is fine. Almost dying? Not so much. With his eye on making the most out of his second chance, his new career as a paramedic is everything he wants. Then he sees her—the one that got away. He made one stupid, youthful mistake and has regretted it every day since. But Dawn doesn’t smile the way she used to. He sets about rescuing Dawn from her darkness and bringing her back into the light. As much as she tries to resist Andrew, he awakens her sleeping soul. He’s always been a thrill seeker and she sees that drive still lurking below the surface. Can she risk her heart to embrace this new beginning, or is it safer staying in her tower?
