Skipping a Beat

She's mourning an immeasurable loss. He's making amends for his past. Will they risk their hearts for a chance at love?

Gabe Roberts has spent the last decade atoning for his role in a fatal car accident. While he's finally found some peace working as a paramedic in the small town of Silver Valley, he's reluctant to date. Past relationships have left him broken, and he's not sure he can trust his heart to try again.

Chicago native Jordyn Braxton has just taken a temporary job at Silver Valley's Medical Center. She has no intention of making friends or putting down roots; her single goal is to find a place far from home that will let her work through grief and heartbreak. 

When Gabe and Jordyn's paths cross in a local bar, the only thing they have in common is a love for billiards and a mutual competitive streak. But as the weeks pass and a friendly rivalry grows, they begin to realize the depth of their connection. Can two guarded strangers help each other heal? Or will their time together end without confessions of the heart? 

Welcome to the bridge novella between the Whispering Pines and Doctors of Silver Valley series!
