imageWe’re the ones who walk into your house, into your emergency, into your life that will never be the same.

When we walk out, we’re never quite the same either.

In this debut collection of essays, Pace tells of his years as a career paramedic—wandering through the highs and the lows, the saves and the losses, the patients he remembers, and the ones he tries to forget.


In 1997, Pace began his career as an EMT because he wanted to do something exciting. He wanted to help people too. And he thought those two things—excitement and helping people—would exist hand in hand. With a little sprinkle of glory thrown in for good measure.


Twenty-three years and thousands of calls later—as an EMT, then paramedic, working in a helicopter and on the ground—he still hasn’t stumbled onto any glory, and he’s tired of the excitement. But some nights, even now, he finds scraps of humanity—beautiful pieces in the broken-up mosaic of the world.

imageHow do you pick up your life after a devastating separation and begin to heal?


Emma Hayes is at a crossroads in life. After years of fighting and keeping it together, her marriage has been finally put to an end. Now all alone with her 16-year-old kid to take care of, she has no idea what comes next. So, when an unexpected help comes from an unlikely source, she grabs the chance to be able to start all over again.


But new beginnings also come with a fresh set of troubles. Starting everything from scratch is never easy, especially to a middle-aged divorcée like her. After meeting Owen, a lot of possibilities seemed to open up to her. There might be more in store for her in the new city than she expected.

There's nothing worse than getting shot … unless you are forced to shoot your attacker.

At least that's what police officer Katelyn Ashford thought before her fiancé tried to attack her at her own wedding. She never thought she'd become a runaway bride. Even worse, she woke up in the stranger's bed in a place she'd never been.

Is it the worst thing to ever happen to Katie or the best?

As head of security for one of the biggest pop stars in the Pacific Northwest, former Army medic, Logan Anthony has seen his fair share of damsels in distress. Even though he's not the soldier he was before his injury, there's something special about this tough but fragile woman that brings out his protective instincts.


Katie knows she has to put the pieces of her life back together. She and Logan make a formidable team. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to escape Katie's frightening past.

Chay Barkley has no interest in the fiery rebel who’s set her heart on another man. But God has other plans.


Katrina Milton is too stubborn, too reckless, and far too tempting for his peace of mind. Yet from the moment they met, she was seared into his soul.


She knows better than to fall for a man like Chay—steady, commanding, way out of her league. Her past is a mess of pain and regret. A man like him deserves someone with a clean slate.


But when a deadly threat surfaces, Chay refuses to let her face it alone.


From Seabrook Island’s shores to Colorado’s rugged mountains, he’ll risk everything to protect her—even if it means putting himself in danger.

Evil is closing in, but so is something neither of them saw coming. The burn between them is turning into an inferno. And this time, Katrina is all in.
