Rescue Me

A grumpy-sunshine small-town romance

By: Kelly Collins

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A small-town mill owner in over her head. A construction boss with a plan to save her. And a business partnership that turns personal fast.

Carla “Carl” Stevenson has been running the family lumber mill in overalls and steel-toed boots since before she could drive. Now the market has tanked, her brother wants to sell, and a corporate developer is circling Frazier Falls with plans to bulldoze the town for cattle farming. She’d rather go down swinging than hand over her family’s legacy.

Owen Cooper has been buying lumber from “Carl” for years. He never realized Carl was a woman. When he meets Carla, she’s everything he didn’t expect: tough, stubborn, and completely unimpressed by his reputation. He’s got an ambitious eco-building project that could save the mill, and she’s got the lumber supply to make it work. All they have to do is trust each other.

That’s the hard part. Carla doesn’t trust charmers, and Owen has never given a woman a reason to stick around. But the more time they spend together, the more their business arrangement starts to feel like something neither of them planned for.

With a corporate shark playing dirty and the future of their town on the line, Owen and Carla will have to decide if they’re partners, or something more.
