A nurse starting over in a small town falls for the firefighter everyone else counts on, then learns that heroes hide their damage best. Small-town contemporary romance with heat, grief and hard-won healing. He Saves Everyone But Himself. I came to Elladine to start over. A new job. A quiet town. A chance to breathe again. Not to fall for another man who could break me all over again. But firefighter Jack Donley didn't get the memo. He's steady, selfless, and impossible to ignore. I feel the pull every time he walks into a room, and I remind myself I've been here before, and love nearly destroyed me. So I make him an offer: no strings attached. He wants more. Before I know it, we're sharing late nights, stolen glances, and a connection I swore I'd never risk again. Then his pain surfaces, his heart breaks under it, and the man I thought I knew is gone. Now Jack's fighting demons I can't see, and I'm fighting the urge to keep saving him. Because loving him once nearly broke me. And letting him go might finish the job. Come Back to Me is Book One in the Elladine Fire series, a small-town firefighter romance, for readers who love found family, hometown heroes and hard-won second chances. Perfect for fans of Lucy Score, Tessa Bailey and Penny Reid. The Elladine Fire books are five interconnected standalones that can be read in any order; Finley recommends reading Come Back to Me before Stay with Me to avoid spoilers. Praise for Elladine Fire? ? ? ? ? Fantastic writing, characterisation, flow, plot, angst...everything was so well balanced. ? ? ? ? ? This is a beautiful, heart-wrenching story of the power of love, hope and overcoming fear. Beautifully written. A true masterpiece. ? ? ? ? ? Love, happiness and also sadness and heartache. ? ? ? ? ? All of the characters have depth and are good decent people. ? ? ? ? ? This is a truly heartfelt romance. ? ? ? ? ? It was a very sweet story. ? ? ? ? ? I was hooked from the first page. I think Annie and Jack are couple goals.
