About this ebook
Prequel to book one of 'Second Chance at Love' series, Jamie's Gift.
Rod works as a firefighter in New York with his wife. Although he is from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, he knows he can earn higher wages living there. He knows that what they share isn't found by many couples. Their fairy-tale life was enriched even more with the birth of their son and he's has loved every moment.
When tragedy strikes during a fire, he's trained for that, but when it happens in his personal life, Rod doesn't find that chapter in any training manual. Is he stronger enough to hold his family together?

Chapter One
I’ll be back as soon as I can, hon.
Rod hugged Cindy before he rushed off to the station, holding her tighter than normal, as though it might be the last time to do so, and breathed in the smell of her hair. An emergency call for a house fire had just come in requesting all available off-duty firemen. He prayed for a safe return, but one never knew what lay ahead. I guess I’ll finish dinner when I get back.
Daddy, wait!
Rod stopped at the door and turned to wait for his son. Jamie came tearing through the house like a firestorm, with his arms wide and Rod bent to pick him up for a hug. He remembered doing the same thing as a child whenever his own father had to leave for a fire run. Tiny arms wrapped around his neck and warm wet lips pressed against his cheek. He laughed as Jamie smeared his wet kiss and leaned back to look at Rod.
Can I wait up for you tonight? I don’t have kindy-garden tomorrow. Please?
Jamie’s eyes filled with anticipation.
If you be good for mommy, you can wait up for me, son. I love you. I’ll see you later.
He put down his five-year-old and tousled his blonde hair.
Cindy picked up Jamie and leaned toward Rod for another kiss. Hurry back. Sorry you have to go out. Stay safe, babe.
Always. Love you.
He kissed his wife, checked his watch and headed to his truck. Another fire required his help. There must be multiple fires if the off-duty guys were being called in and he never questioned their requests. Since nine-eleven, all the guys had grown closer after losing too many of their own downtown.
