Excerpt
Brave Enough to Dare by EmKay Connor
“Did you know I trained with your dad?”
My head whipped around. My father was persona non grata within the JFRD. No one talked about Marco Rizzoli, but everyone knew the story of how he’d shown up for an overtime shift, drunk off his ass, and crashed the aerial truck he was driving into a school bus. There were no casualties, but the delay getting on scene resulted in the death of an eighty-year-old man.
Three months later, my dad offed himself with a combination of vodka and sleeping pills. The coroner ruled the manner of death undetermined, but it didn’t matter if it was intentional or accidental. The result was the same.
“We trained at the academy together. I was still living and working in Detroit when he—”
“Yeah?” I cut him off, not needing to hear the words.
“Your dad was a good man.” Whelan’s chair clicked hard as he sat forward, forearms resting against the edge of his desk. “He was a helluva firefighter…before your mom died.”
I tried to swallow, but my throat constricted.
“You have his instincts.” Whelan covered the catch in his words with a gruff cough. “I like your potential, Rizzoli, but you’re gonna ruin your chances of a career in firefighting if you don’t get rid of that chip on your shoulder and learn to obey orders. This is your first and last chance to get it together.”
