GALEN: As a foster kid who was lucky enough to be adopted, I know what it's like to be wary of people—and I know what it's like to find your forever family, too. I've been waiting all my life to meet the right girl, so I can start a family of my own. It begins with a family of two, right? When I finally meet her, I know her right away, because she's beautiful inside and out. How can I convince her to trust me? MAGNOLIA: My next-door neighbor, Nadine, has become my honorary grandmother. If it weren't for her, I'd be completely alone. When I find her collapsed on the floor, my world goes to pieces. The gorgeous EMT who comes to rescue her is so sweet to me that against my judgment, I want to trust him. ...but can I really? GALEN is a short instalove romance between a firefighter-EMT and a curvy girl. True HEA guaranteed. No cheating, no cliffhanger. Part of the Rivertown Fire & Rescue series, but can be read as a standalone.
