MOVING FORWARD

Romance blossoms in the Colorado foothills in this sweet romance from the New York Times bestselling author.

Former Army captain Greg Tebo loves his new life in Woodland Park. In the two years since he joined the WPFD, he's gained a reputation as a fearless firefighter, and after being stationed all around the country and overseas, he can't wait to settle down with a wife and kids.

When a call comes in about a possible heart attack at the scene of a fire at the Garden Center, Greg assumes they're going to be helping an elderly customer - not the beautiful, feisty proprietor in her late twenties. Kristen Werner has been determined to pretend everything is fine. She refuses to leave the company she's carefully nurtured and move home to her loving but meddling family in Houston. Since her devastating diagnosis caused her fiancé to dump her, she's given up on love and thrown herself into cultivating her blooming business instead - even if the hard work further weakens her heart.

Greg is drawn to Kristen's vibrant, independent spirit and hopes romance will flower. But she's had enough trouble with her heart to last a lifetime, and can't trust Greg not to break it - especially if he finds out she can never give him the houseful of children he longs for...
