Deputy Dax Donovan has struggled to find peace, in any measure, since a tragic accident in his teens. Weighted by guilt and the certainty that God failed him, he walks in a constant state of anger. He just wants everyone to leave him alone, but between his family and a nosy paramedic with too much compassion for her own good, he can't find a moment's peace.
Though fighting to control anger issues of her own, paramedic Holly Randall won't take Dax's bad attitude lying down. She's drawn to him even as his bouts of hostility frighten her. Didn't her mother's mistakes teach her anything? After a particularly nasty, and unwarranted, explosion, she determines to avoid him. Then tragedy strikes.
Will they finally embrace the peace God offers in abundance?
Dawn loves to write Christian romance, suspense, and women's fiction, as well as fantasy with a Christian worldview. She took first place in the Contemporary Romance category, as well as winning the Grand Prize, in the Writers On the Storm Category Five writing competition. She lives in the high desert of Southern Arizona with her husband of 20 years and a variety of critters, furred and feathered. Besides writing and spending time with friends, she enjoys crochet, photography, scrapbooking, spinning yarn from wool and alpaca, and lots and lots of reading.
Dax has to confront his anger issues and seek help from the family he's avoided for years! Taking place in Arizona and Oklahoma was enjoyable to a native Okie. Great examples for those of us who need to work on our own personal issues.
