⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Not only is it witty and fast paced but it is also suspenseful in the most jagged, heart-pounding way! What a fantastic read!” - Goodreads Reviewer.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“This was a great story that felt so real and relatable. Darby and Cole had me hooked from page one and their HEA was well worth all the work it took to get there.” - Amanda (Amazon Reviewer)

Fired, broke, and broken, Darby Hayes returns to Crystal Lake determined to prove her self-worth. She joins the search and rescue team and is confronted with Cole Harper, the one man who hurt her worse than her backstabbing ex-boss.

Cole dumped Darby before she left for Stanford without a word of explanation. Seven years later, he's broader, bossier, and looking unfairly good in that Henley. Now, Darby has to train under his command and trust him with her life. Between cliffside rescues, flash floods, and narrow cave extractions, a different danger emerges—Cole is getting too close, and Darby's defenses are crumbling.

But Cole has been keeping a secret since the night he let her go, and the truth is about to unravel everything Darby thought she knew about love, sacrifice, and what it means to be enough.

The sharp wit and spice of Ali Hazelwood meets the action of Nora Roberts in this steamy second-chance romance about proving your worth and discovering you never had to.
