Stronger by Your Side — A. Hart

Megan Maxwell is left pregnant, widowed and alone. Her late husband's best friends step up to the plate to help take care of her and her baby girl. Several years later, Megan ventures back to her husband's hometown in search of a little piece of him. Instead of finding a part of him in the small town, Megan finds a part of herself that she never thought she would have to face again. In a twist of events, Megan is face to face with both her past and future. She is forced to look deep inside herself for strength and maybe, just maybe, she can be strong enough to let herself love again. Firefighter Sawyer Prescott has spent the last eight years working around the clock so that he had no time to think. Time to think would mean time to remember, and he doesn't want to remember--not his parents dying or the only girl he ever loved leaving him unexpectedly. Suddenly, he comes face to face with the very reason he worked the time away, and he is forced to decide what to do next. Scared to lose the one that got away again, Sawyer must devise a good plan to make sure history doesn't repeat itself. When the past comes between them, can they have a future? Stronger By Your Side is a heart-thumping, page-turning romance that is riddled with questions about love, loss, hope and fate.
