Mr. November

Welcome to Ann Roth's exciting new series, Heroes of Rogue Valley: Calendar Guys series. Twelve months, 12 gorgeous firefighter heroes and the women who steal into their hearts and forever change their lives.

Feeling responsible for his wife's tragic accident and death, firefighter Daniel O'Dwyer has moved to Guff's Lake for a fresh start. Shackled with guilt, he doesn't get close to anyone-not even his firefighter brothers. Then he meets the station's dispatcher Sarah McComb and his outlook on life takes a positive turn.

Sarah is drawn to the big man with the sad eyes. Still smarting from a devastating breakup, she's loathe to try dating again, but Daniel makes her rethink that. Too bad he isn't interested.

Then they're paired to work on a safety class. As they get to know each other, the attraction between them builds, and despite their mutual reluctance to get involved, the pull between them is impossible to resist. Before long, they're sharing kisses and more.

Will these two wounded hearts move beyond their painful pasts and take a chance on love?
