They never should have responded to that call.

From New York Times Best Selling Author of the Neighbor from Hell Series, R.L. Mathewson takes on the Emergency Medical Services…

Eric and Joe, the EMT crew of Echo 17, have been best friends since they were eight years old when Eric had taken it upon himself to improve the ugly dress that Joe was wearing with a handful of worms, only to have Joe force him to—

Well, it wasn’t important what Joe made him do with that handful of worms or the vow they made when they found themselves sitting outside the principal’s office after they were snitched on. The only thing that mattered was that they were always there for each other.

Until now.

Eric can’t stop thinking about just how close he came to losing her—and he’s done playing this game, done watching Joe risk her life and he’s going to do whatever it takes to get the stubborn woman off the truck even if that means losing her forever.

There was only one problem with that plan.

Joe loved what she did and had absolutely no plans to quit. She doesn’t care what Eric says, she’s not going anywhere and the sooner he realized that, the sooner she could go back to pretending that everything was fine.

Eric needed to make a choice, risk everything or lose the one woman he couldn’t live without.
