Meet Sage and Delaney~
He
heard water running in the shower. Now what? He glanced around the room, his
gaze stopping at her bedside table. Curiosity made him investigate. A raggedy
stuffed doll with red stringy hair sat plopped against the lamp. Cell phone
charger. A picture frame.
Who
did she want to see when morning dawned? Who was the last person on her mind
when she turned out the light at night?
He
picked up the frame and stared at a picture of the three of them. Dane, Steven
and Sage, at her college graduation. He smiled. Humbled, yet gratified, at the
same time. She pictured them the same way he did.
As
family.
“Why
should I leave my house?” Her quiet words from behind surprised him.
He
fumbled with the picture frame and settled it back on the table. He hadn’t
heard the door open or the water stop. He turned around, gulped.
Dane’s
shoulder length hair framed her face and rosy cheeks shimmered with goodness.
Wearing jeans and a turquoise shirt that hugged her figure, she reminded him
about what was good in life. Wholesome, outdoorsy.
It
made him think about campfires and roasting marshmallows, about cooler
temperatures and football games, about the spectacular colors and beauty of
fall. How leaves fall from the sky to make room for new green buds in the
spring. Seasons. And how life changed. How she’d grown from a pesky kid into a
beautiful woman.
Dane
made him forget the ugliness in the world.
But
only for a minute.

After an injury forces Deputy U.S. Marshal Sage Michaelson off duty, he heads to his hometown with two things on his mind: recuperating and reevaluating, but Sage can’t refuse his best friend’s plea to keep a protective eye on his little sister after someone ransacks her house. But Delaney’s not so little anymore—and definitely not the young “Dane” Sage remembers.
Flight Medic Delaney Hunt has loved Sage forever. But, he’s all about control and order while she embraces life and takes risks. As much as the idea appeals to her, she doesn’t need Sage looking over her shoulder. But when things go wrong and she finds herself hanging by her fingertips, who does she call to rescue her?
Will Delaney ever be the woman Sage wants by his side? Can Sage learn to live by grace, recognizing that God is in control? Can they overcome their fears to embrace life together?
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. (2 Tim 1:7 NIV)
