Lights and Lifelines: A Romance Novelette
Lona Edwins
Ethan Cole has spent years running toward emergencies, but lately, the quiet moments afterward are the hardest to face. Natalie Rivera has built her life around caring for others, even when her own heart still carries its scars.
When they cross paths during a storm that turns the town’s fire station into a shelter, one night of teamwork, laughter, and a stray kitten named Peppermint begins to melt the walls between them.
As the holidays draw near and the snow keeps falling, Natalie and Ethan discover that some rescues have nothing to do with sirens, and everything to do with second chances.
