      He saved her life...

      But will he destroy her dreams?

      Firefighter Rand Nelson is tall and handsome and has literally walked through an inferno for Beatrice Wilcox. He’s a hero...and that’s exactly the problem. Beatrice knows all too well the risks of loving a man with a dangerous career. But when Rand’s report threatens her beloved children’s camp, Beatrice can’t refuse his offer of help...even though she knows they’re both playing with fire.

      CATHERINE LANIGAN knew she was born to storytelling at a very young age when she told stories to her younger brothers and sister to entertain them. After years of encouragement from family and high school teachers, Catherine was shocked and brokenhearted when her freshman college creative-writing professor told her that she had “no writing talent whatsoever” and that she would never earn a dime as a writer.

      For fourteen years she did not write until she was encouraged by a television journalist to give her dream a shot. That was nearly forty published novels, nonfiction books and anthologies ago. To add to the dream, Hallmark Channel has recently released The Sweetest Heart, based on the second book in her Harlequin Heartwarming series, Shores of Indian Lake. With more books in the series and more movies to come, Catherine makes her home in La Porte, Indiana, the inspiration for Indian Lake.

      “I vowed never to get involved with a man who worked in a dangerous job.”

      “Like cops...and firemen?”

      “Exactly like cops and firemen.” His handsome face was heartbreakingly compassionate at that moment, but she’d struck him down again.

      “Listen, Beatrice. I’m a highly trained and skilled fire jumper. I’m certainly more careful going into a fire than you were. I know what I’m doing. Seriously.”

      “It’s still dangerous. You’re not an accountant who sits in an office behind a computer all day. You risk your life for others!”

      “I certainly do,” he replied proudly.

      This had to stop. With each moment she spent with Rand, their attraction grew. That kiss... No. It was more than attraction. Her heart was opening to him, and she couldn’t let that continue.

      But another part of her grew queasy with uncertainty, as if warning her that she was making the wrong decision...

      Dear Reader,

      I’m thrilled and humbled that you are reading my newest story in the Shores of Indian Lake series. Earlier this year, Hallmark Channel aired the movie The Sweetest Heart, which is based on book two of the series, Heart’s Desire, now also available under the same title as the movie at www.millsandboon.co.uk and on Amazon.

      As I moved into writing Beatrice Wilcox’s story, I was aware of one of the aspects that make our Harlequin Heartwarming stories so poignant: not only do our heroines and heroes find their happy-ever-after, but their dreams really do come true. Beatrice is hardworking and has put everything on the line for her children’s camp. Of all my heroines, Beatrice has the biggest heart. She is all love. She’s who I strive to be.

      The kids in the story, little Eli and Chris, have been abandoned by their parents. When Chris accidentally sets the nearby forest on fire, Beatrice runs into the fire to save the boys, never thinking of her own safety.

      Rand Nelson, firefighter, comes to the rescue. Spellbound by Beatrice’s courage and love, Rand can’t help but fall for her. However, Rand works in a dangerous job and Beatrice has sworn she will never be with a man who takes such risks.

      I hope you enjoy this and all the Indian Lake stories. Believe me when I say I can’t write the next half dozen fast enough!

      God bless and happy reading,

      Catherine
