**In this heartfelt Southern love story from the #1 New York Times
bestselling author of The Notebook, a daring fireman rescues a single
mom -- and learns that falling in love is the greatest risk of all.
**When confronted by raging fires or deadly accidents, volunteer fireman
Taylor McAden feels compelled to take terrifying risks to save lives.
But there is one leap of faith Taylor can't bring himself to make: he
can't fall in love. For all his adult years, Taylor has sought out women
who need to be rescued, women he leaves as soon as their crisis is over
and the relationship starts to become truly intimate.
When a raging storm hits his small Southern town, single mother Denise
Holton's car skids off the road. The young mom is with her four-year-old
son Kyle, a boy with severe learning disabilities and for whom she has
sacrificed everything. Taylor McAden finds her unconscious and bleeding,
but does not find Kyle. When Denise wakes, the chilling truth becomes
clear to both of them. Kyle is gone. During the search for Kyle, a
connection between Taylor and Denise takes root. But Taylor doesn't know
that this rescue will be different from all the others.
