Natalie’s Nighthawk by Amanda Zook

Having dedicated his life to search and rescue, he now faces the most important mission of his life – if he fails, he loses everything.
Unaware their world was about to shatter, Graham came to her rescue, in so doing sharing a day neither would forget. But he disappeared from her life, taking with him a piece of her heart.

Twelve years later, she is on his doorstep needing his help in finding two of her students who have gone missing. Mission over and children found safe, neither of them is willing to let another twelve years pass without exploring the spark that reignites between them. Life has dealt her some stinging blows, leaving her unsure whether the remaining pieces of her heart are too fragile to risk again. For the man who looks at her as if she’s the brightest star in his galaxy, she may be willing to open herself up and allow her heart to fly. Will he be the one who finds the missing pieces and rescues her splintered heart?

He has dedicated his life to building a reputation in the search and rescue community, never once forgetting the green-eyed artist who’d captured his heart in one day. Wanting to use his skills to train others to assist in times of crisis, and always remembering the talented artist who stole his heart and the inspiring story she told him, Nighthawk Search and Rescue is born.

When Natalie Ghannon walked back into his life, she brought with her the light his heart had been missing. He’s seen far too much darkness in his career; her shining spirit is the spark of brilliant illumination he needs to lead him home to the light. A shadow darker than any they’ve ever experienced before looms over them, threatening to extinguish her light, permanently. Graham needs every skill he’s ever learned to find her, but will it be enough? Will he be able to save his heart’s guiding star? Or is he destined to stay in the darkness forever?
