First Response

Can the Firefighter Douse the Pain in Her Heart?

Taylor Wilson was a recently widowed high school teacher. Raising her little boy without her police officer husband had never been on her radar. Now she found herself starting life over at a new school and wasn’t sure what the future would hold. The one thing she did know was that she would never give her heart to another first responder. But did her heart have a mind of its own?

Shane Gallagher had been fighting fires since he was eighteen. Even though he never made it a career, he couldn’t give it up. As a high school math and science teacher, he volunteered as a firefighter during the school year and spent his summers fighting fires full-time. Could he choose between teaching and firefighting if he had to?

First Response is a story of making choices and letting go. Sometimes letting go of the life you thought you’d have allows you to embrace a new life.

Reader Reviews

“First Response, the first standalone novel from this author, does a great job of navigating life after loss, as well as learning “do it scared.” Taylor’s journey through grief, and learning to live with it, is well-told. The main characters are both lovable, but the star of the show has to be little Connor. Toddlers have a great way of simplifying the hard subjects, and Connor is no different. Definitely give First Response a try if you like firefighter romance, single/widowed parent romance, or the “he falls first” trope. I loved it!”
