From Asphalt (Paperback or Softback)

Paramedic Lance Patterson knows you can't save everyone.

But when he spots an injured dog limping away from a car accident, he decides maybe he can save just one more. A vet visit and a hefty bill later, Lance has a new problem—he can't stop thinking about the beautiful veterinary assistant who patched up his unexpected rescue.

Too bad he's got no time for romance. Between a demanding job, a mother recovering from a stroke, and an injured dog who needs more help than he bargained for, his life is full.

Becca Williams is done being the assistant.

Assistant to her sister. Assistant at the vet clinic. Always helping someone else chase their dreams while hers collect dust. This year, she's pulling away from her hyper-successful, animal-loving family to find her own way. Which doesn’t involve any hot paramedics, especially of the puppy-rescuing variety.

But when Lance needs help teaching his dog to use her paw again, how can she say no?

A little time leads to a lot, and soon Becca is being pulled away from her dreams. Again. And Lance is sure he can save everything. Again.

When is it time to let go, and when is it time to hold on?
