內容簡介:
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, the connection
between Taylor and Denise takes root. Taylor doesn''t know that this
rescue will be different from all the others, demanding far more
than raw physical courage. It will lead him to the possibility of
his own rescue from a life lived without love and will require him
to open doors to his past that were slammed shut by pain. This
rescue will dare him to live life to the fullest by daring to
love.
