Silent Heart — Amy Lane

Search and Rescue: Book Two

Dog wrangler Preston Echo has been in love with his brother's best friend, copilot, and business partner since high school -- and Damien Ward knew it. As Preston grew into a stunning, hard-willed man, Damien began to dream of Preston too. 

Then Damien almost died in a helicopter crash. While his physical wounds are slowly healing, the blows to his self-confidence and goodwill are almost worse. His body is broken and he's afraid to fly -- how can Preston love him now? 

When Preston's brother goes on a search-and-rescue mission and disappears in an earthquake zone in Mexico, Preston and Damien are thrown together in an effort to find him and bring him back. Preston's merciless honesty -- and relentless passion -- may leverage Damien into his bed, but can Damien overcome his fears to allow himself to stay there?
