A Man Worth Loving — Karen Rose Smith

THE PRICE OF DANGER

Nate McKendrick, owner of York's local paper, was photographing the scene when it happened. The fire ripped through the warehouse until the walls collapsed, killing one firefighter. This incident hit home because Nate was acquainted with fireman Jim Nolan and his lovely wife Shara. When Nate broke the news to Shara, she wept for Jim and for the baby that was growing inside her.

In the months that followed, Shara began to enjoy the company of Nate, a sensitive man whose wise eyes sparkled with gray light. And Nate found himself fantasizing about Shara, a green-eyed beauty who thrived on laughter. When Shara went into labor, Nate rushed to her side. A special bond was forged as Shara and Nate shared the miracle of birth.

Shara couldn't help but fall head over heels for Nate. His passionate kisses reminded her that she was still a desirable woman. And his tenderness toward her son brought tears to Shara's eyes. But Nate McKendrick was also restless, bored with his publishing duties and anxious to return to the streets. She had already lost one man to danger. How could she marry Nate and risk losing all over again?
