Crash — Ruby McNally

Love until the wheels fall off…or until they're past the point of rescue.

A year ago, after a gut-wrenching shift at work, Taryn Falvey made a huge mistake: she fell into the arms of fellow paramedic Nick Kanelos -- and into his bed. Since then they've kept their distance, knowing their lives are too messy to mesh.

Taryn's got her hands full keeping her many siblings and alcoholic mother from slipping into grinding poverty. A normal relationship -- a normal life -- isn't even on her radar.

After that desperate night of passion, Nick retreated to the big, empty house on the edge of town he used to share with his late wife. Now it's just him, his mutt, and his memories rattling around the empty rooms. He's taught himself not to need anything or anyone too much, but he hasn't been able to get Taryn off his mind.

As inevitable as gravity, life brings Taryn and Nick spiraling back into each other's orbit. As their attraction reignites, the only question remaining is whether two professional rescuers are capable of saving themselves -- and each other -- or if they're diving heart first into certain disaster.

Warning: This work contains two sexy, screwed-up paramedics, a slobbery mutt, and enough countertop sex to change how you view your kitchen entirely.
