Standing In Forever

Contemporary Christian Romance When walking away isn't an option... Confined to a hospital bed following a bad landing, smokejumper Shawn "Tomcat" Calloway faces a reality check of epic proportions. The kind of man he's become isn't someone his deceased father would be proud to call his son. A friend assures him that there's hope for him, hope and help for real change, but does God actually exist? If so, could He possibly, truly, care about a man who has prayed exactly once in his entire life? Prayer failed then. Will it fail again, if Shawn can find the courage to try it? Trauma nurse Anneka "Annie" Sjogren knows she's treading dangerous ground - emotionally and spiritually - but she can't bring herself to walk away from the wounded, lost firefighter. The certainty that doing so would result in catastrophe is too strong. So, she does the only two things she can - pray and turn to her family. With their help, and the Lord's, can she reach Shawn's wounded heart and help him find the peace and joy only the Lord can provide? Standing firm in her faith isn't a problem, but guarding her already battered and broken heart very well could be.
