Excerpt
A Firefighter’s Guilt (Emotional Opening Scene)
🔥 Jon Clemmons stepped out of the ambulance. The blaze roared, but his heart pounded louder.
Every fire brought back the memories. Every scream echoed in his mind. His sister’s desperate cries for help from the wrecked SUV haunted him, playing on an endless loop in his nightmares.
Tonight, he had a chance to save someone else. A little girl was trapped inside the burning house, and Jon wouldn’t fail her the way he’d failed Shelly. Ignoring the Chief’s orders, he rushed inside, his lungs burning with smoke, his resolve stronger than his fear.
Would this fire be the one that finally broke him?

About the Author
My journey as a romance author is deeply rooted in my personal experiences of love, loss, and resilience. The profound impact of the losses I have endured, including the passing of my grandparents and my parents, has shaped my perspective on life and love.
My own love story is one of healing and finding joy after heartache, and it mirrors the themes I explore in my novels.
As a survivor of grief and a believer in the power of love, I channel my experiences into crafting stories that resonate with the complexities and triumphs of the human heart. My writing is a testament to the idea that love can emerge from the most unexpected places, offering hope and healing. The one thing that can be learned from grief is that it's a very personal experience and isn't the same for every person.
