Volunteer fireman Taylor McAden is driven to take terrifying, heroic risks to save lives. But there`s one leap into the unknown he can`t bring himself to make: He can`t fall in love. A man who likes to rescue troubled women, he inevitably leaves them as soon as they want more from him. Then, one day, a record-breaking storm hits his small Southern town, and Taylor comes across a young single mother named Denise Holton in a crashed car. When she revives, Taylor finds himself looking for her missing son-and involved in a rescue different from all the others. This one will require him to open doors to his past slammed shut by pain. And, with Denise`s help, dare him to make the greatest commitment of all: Love someone forever.
