They’ve faced chaos together—but nothing prepared them for being trapped inside it…
Sirens cut through the streets of Los Angeles, where shifts blur into adrenaline, exhaustion, and choices that can’t be undone. In the back of an ambulance, there’s no room for mistakes—only fast decisions, steady hands, and the quiet understanding that not everyone gets a second chance.
EMT Teagan Valencio has built her life around helping others despite the way her own chest tightens in the confined space of the ambulance. Reeve Carlyle—her partner, her protector, and the one man she can’t afford to want—is hardened by loss and haunted by the past. One bad call from walking away, Reeve trusts his training, his instincts, and very little else.
Nine months of shared trauma calls, late-night meals, and unspoken tension have blurred the line between friendship and something deeper. Crossing it could cost them their careers.
But when disaster strikes, plunging them into chaos, Teagan and Reeve are forced to face more than injury and physical danger. Fear, faith, and the truths they’ve avoided collide in the dark—where hope is fragile, prayers are whispered, and every breath matters.
