Falling for the Rescue: A Forced Proximity, Search and Rescue Romance Packed with Heat, Heart, and High Stakes (Hearts on Duty #5)
Hana York

Ryan Anderson thrives in the chaos of Search and Rescue, risking everything to save those in danger. He’s fiercely independent, highly skilled, and never the one needing help—until a treacherous storm and a botched rescue mission leave him stranded, injured, and facing the one situation he can’t control.
Enter Sam Monroe—a tough, no-nonsense ex-military K9 handler who’s spent years proving she doesn’t need anyone. Haunted by her past and more comfortable in survival mode than emotional entanglements, Sam doesn’t have time for distractions—especially not the kind with broad shoulders, smoldering intensity, and a stubborn streak to match her own.
Forced to wait out the storm in a remote cabin in the wilderness, their reluctant alliance turns into something far more dangerous. Tensions ignite. Sparks fly. But neither of them is built for surrender—especially when old wounds and hidden vulnerabilities threaten to unravel the fragile trust between them.
Will Sam and Ryan let down their walls and take a risk on love? Or will fear and pride keep them from the one person who finally sees them for who they truly are?
