Strong Enough to Dare

Retired veteran and firefighter Tom Shaw isn't afraid of anything. At least, that's what the rest of his crew thinks. After three tours in the Middle East, he traded his camo uniform for turnout gear, earning a rep as the go-to guy when desperate measures required quick action. But what others see as dedication and daring is a carefully constructed façade to hide what Shaw fears most—the discovery of a dark secret that could ruin his career and his life.

When he's called on to talk down a suicidal teen, Shaw must confront his own vulnerabilities. Help comes from an unlikely source, changing everything he believes about courage, strength, and trust.

Strong Enough to Dare is a Heart of the Hero short romance. Look for more stories about these everyday heroes and heroines as the series continues.
