He saved her life…
But will he destroy her dreams?
Firefighter Rand Nelson is tall and handsome and has literally walked through an inferno for Beatrice Wilcox. He’s a hero…and that’s exactly the problem. Beatrice knows all too well the risks of loving a man with a dangerous career. But when Rand’s report threatens her beloved children’s camp, Beatrice can’t refuse his offer of help…even though she knows they’re both playing with fire.
Cindy came
rushing up with five-year-old Ricky Sanders, the youngest child at the camp
that week. He was a foster child, hoping to be legally adopted by his new
foster parents, and was Cindy’s personal favorite. “Did one of you get the
Dunning boys?”
“Eli and Chris are in the last cabin,” Beatrice replied. “I thought you
were getting them.”
“I was…” Cindy hesitated, looking at Ricky. She put Ricky in his child’s
seat and belted him in. She turned away from the boy so that only Beatrice
could hear her. Nearly in a whisper Cindy said, “They weren’t there. That’s why
I thought one of you might have gotten to them already.”
“What?” Chills spread over Beatrice’s body faster than any fire could
eat a dried leaf.
“Tell Maisie to check the common areas. I’ll do a sweep of their cabin.”
Beatrice had been a runner all her life. Track. Five-k races. She’d won
them all, but never in her life had she run as fast as she did now toward the
last boys’ cabin. She flung open the door.
“Eli? Chris?” she shouted. Their
bedcovers were pulled back, but the boys clearly hadn’t been in bed for a
while. She ran to the small bathroom, which had been the most recent one to be
modernized. Right now, though, the last things on her mind were tile, plumbing
or the new toilet she’d found on sale. The bathroom was empty.
“Eli! Chris!” she shouted, going around to the back of the cabin.
Thinking the boys might have gone down to the lake past their curfew, she ran
down the grassy slope. The cabins were outfitted with motion lights that
illuminated the area like daylight for her.
The little lake was placid with a ribbon of silver moonlight gleaming
across the surface. No one was on the diving raft. No one on the short pier. No
one hid near the kayak rack or the beached canoes.
She ran back to the driveway.
She whispered to Bruce, “They weren’t there. Take these kids to Father
Michael’s. Cindy will drive the other SUV. I’ll keep Maisie here with me while
we keep looking for Eli and Chris.”
“You’re sure?”
She nodded. “Call me when you get there. I have to know the kids are
safe.”
The screams of the sirens grew louder.
Bruce climbed in the SUV and started the engine. Beatrice walked back to
the second one and gave Cindy a thumbs-up.
As they drove away, Maisie jogged up to Beatrice. “I’ve just checked the
kitchen and the activity room. I can’t find Eli or Chris anywhere. Where on
earth could they be?” she asked.
Beatrice heard fear trembling in the raven-haired girl’s voice.
“I don’t know.”
The sirens wailed to an earsplitting level as they barreled down the
country road.
Beatrice looked at the fire. It was clearly raging now. She was glad the
gravel road put distance and a natural fire barrier between her camp and the
fire.
Then her mind recognized a figure standing behind a wall of flame on the
other side of the road.
“Eli! Eli!”
Beatrice ran into the fire
