Dear Reader,

Close your eyes for a moment and picture your first crush. Call to mind the way it felt, knowing you were falling in love with him—and had no idea how to admit it. If you’re like me, you were terrified. What if you put your heart out there and he rejected it! Far better to keep your feelings hidden.

Then one night, perhaps he tenderly tucked your hair behind your ears, or confessed that he couldn’t talk to anyone the way he could talk to you, or kissed you as you’d never been kissed before, and you thought, This, this is the time! But when he looked surprised and uncomfortable instead of happy, you faced a whole new challenge: hiding your disappointment and heartache long enough to get home, where you could cry yourself to sleep.

Remarkably, your second crush came along, and yet again, your heart drummed with the sweet beats of new love. But this time, you were older and wiser: Why risk a repeat performance of that agonizing moment by blurting out “I love you”?

That’s pretty much the dilemma faced by the main characters in The Firefighter’s Refrain.

Finn Leary has learned the hard way that living by the saying “better to love and lose than never love at all” is dangerous and reckless. Sam Marshall, the product of a big, loving family, believes the exact opposite, and his impatience with her guarded behavior threatens to end them before they can begin.

Thankfully, we needn’t remain prisoners of the past. My wish for you, dear reader, is that you’ll open every dark corner of your heart to the possibility of love.

Hugs from me to you,

Loree
