      Foreword

      Dear Reader,

      I always love revisiting characters and that’s exactly what I did with Fighting For Forever. This short story is a continuation of Rhys and Kari’s love story, from my novel, Falling Into Forever. All of my books and stories are designed to be read as stand alones, which means you can read them in any order. However, I encourage you to go back and see how Rhys and Kari met and what makes their love so special.

      I hope you enjoy this next chapter in their story, I think for this couple, the adventure is only just beginning.

      ~Elena

      Chapter One

      When the voice crackled over the radio, repeating the familiar code and dispatching Sheriff Rhys Anderson to the Sugar Shack on Main Street in Cedar Springs, his initial response should have been one of concern. Instead, Rhys only smiled and shook his head because it had been way too long since he’d heard that particular call. He picked up his radio and responded.

      10-4, Janice. I’m on my way. As an afterthought, he added, Is there anything—

      Janice cut him off. All is calm, Rhys. You’re in the clear for your Code 6.

      Rhys couldn’t help but smile as he pulled a U-turn in his cruiser and headed back the way he came, to the main street of Cedar Springs, which was just gearing up for the busy summer season. Not that they’d had many busy summers in the past, but that was all changing now with the introduction of the Springs resort just up the mountain, and after the successful winter ski season with the newly reopened Stone Summit ski hill, things were definitely picking up in their quiet little town. Not that he objected. As far as Rhys, and most of the locals, were concerned, the increased tourism was only a good thing. Especially considering so many of his friends worked in the industry.

      Including his girlfriend Kari Fox. Just thinking of her made him smile the way it had from the moment he’d met her. Only now, the one thing that gave him pause was the term girlfriend. She was so much more than that. And he was ready to prove it.

      But thoughts of Kari and how he hoped the future would look were going to have to wait, at least for a few minutes. Rhys pulled up in front of the bakery and waved at a few locals before he headed inside, where the familiar smell of cinnamon buns and freshly brewed coffee filled him up. He scanned the small room, but it didn’t take long to see his buddy, Archer Wolfe, still at the counter, chatting up the new girl who was helping out for the summer.

      Rhys shook his head. Some things never changed. Hey buddy. He slapped Archer on the back and gave the girl, who blushed brighter than her t-shirt, a wink. Are you harassing Dream Puff’s newest employee?

      Far from it, Anderson. Archer gave the girl his trademarked grin that had made panties melt since they were in high school. I was just telling Lucy here that Friday is Steak Sandwich night at the Grizzly Paw and if she felt like coming by—

      Right. Rhys grabbed the coffee Lucy had automatically handed him. She’d obviously been trained well by Suzy Crosswell about the way the local law enforcement liked their coffee: hot. He dropped a few dollars in the tip jar and slapped his hand on Archer’s arm again. I only have a few minutes. You can work on your dating life later.

      The two men found a table at the back of the shop where they could hopefully have a few minutes of privacy from any mutual friends who wandered in. That was one of the hazards of a small town, one that neither man minded too terribly much.

      So, Rhys started when they were settled. Why the call out for a coffee? You know you could have just sent me a text.

      I could have. Archer poured a packet of sugar into his cup and stirred before he answered. But I wanted to make sure you knew how serious it was. I couldn’t have you blowing me off to go hand out speeding tickets or anything like that. He grinned, knowing exactly how to tease his old friend.

      Right. Well, it better be important then. Because it’s been awhile since I’ve had the radar gun out, and I’m starting to get itchy fingers.

      I’m sure you are, Archer said. But it is important. I need you to call off the party.

      Party? Rhys could pretend, at least for a moment, that he had no clue what his friend was talking about. I’m not sure I know what you’re talking about.

      The truth was, everyone knew what Archer was talking about, but he wasn’t supposed to know. Samantha Burke, Archer’s best friend and owner of the Grizzly Paw, where Archer worked as the chef, was planning a big surprise party for Archer’s twenty-eighth birthday. Everyone knew, including Archer, apparently. Rhys was smart enough to play along, at least for a while. He didn’t need to experience the wrath of Sam.

      You know exactly what I’m talking about. Archer sat back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest. "Sam is terrible at keeping secrets. I knew about it
