Whitewater Hero: a Western Small Town Romance

Caleb Donovan lives for the rush of swift water rescue, his instincts saving lives where others fear to tread. Dr. Brooke Sinclair's scientific models predict disaster with terrifying precision, but her carefully ordered world isn't prepared for the turbulence Caleb brings. As water levels rise, so does the heat between them—proving that sometimes the most dangerous currents aren't in the river.

CALEB

I'm the guy they call when things get rough on the water. Cool under pressure, go with the flow—that's my specialty. The last thing I need is some scientist with her charts and graphs telling me how to do my job, even if she happens to be brilliant and gorgeous in those practical khakis. Dr. Brooke Sinclair thinks everything can be predicted and controlled. I know better.

When she challenges me at every turn with those fierce eyes and that razor-sharp mind, something shifts inside me. She makes me want things I've sworn off—connection, vulnerability, her. But getting too close means risking the one promise I've kept my whole never become the storm that destroys someone you love.

BROOKE

Data doesn't lie. Numbers give me certainty in a world that's taken too much from me. My flood models predict disaster for Pine Vale, and I won't let anyone—especially not some adrenaline-junkie rescue specialist with a reckless smile—derail my mission to save this town. I've worked too hard to be taken seriously in my field to let Caleb Donovan's infuriating charm distract me.

But there's a variable I can't quantify in any the way my pulse races when he looks at me, how his calloused hands brushing mine scramble every rational thought. The water isn't the only thing threatening to sweep me away, and for the first time in my life, I'm terrified of losing control—because falling for Caleb could be the one disaster I never saw coming.
