Courageous Heart (Briar Mountain #2)
C.M. Smith

Emergency Department nurse Lizzy Thorpe lives in a community that both loves and shuns her. The night of her High School graduation, a tragedy occurred that still follows her around seven years later. It's kept her from really living, but that's about to change when fire-fighter Joshua Anderson enters her life. Fearing the safety of his job, Lizzy quickly friend-zones him.
What happens when Josh decides that isn't enough?
Both have their own tragic pasts. Both have their own fears. And both will be tested by bad characters. Maybe together, they can find the courage to learn to leap.
