Former soldier Veronica “Ronnie” Morales isn’t going to let her kid brother, Tiago, get pulled into the gangs of Minneapolis, so, seeking safety and a fresh start, she heads to sleepy Deep Haven on the north shore of Minnesota. She’s hoping to put down roots as the paramedic for the new Crisis Response Team, but it’s not easy to be the outsider.
He can’t seem to escape it…
It’s also not easy being the guy related to everyone in town. Especially when you’re the holdout vote for a landmark project. Fire Chief Peter Dahlquist might be the loneliest guy in town when both sides of his massive family—the Hatfields and McCoys of Deep Haven—demand that he pick sides. The only one who seems to understand is the newcomer in town…his new, albeit street-tough paramedic.
Can trouble bring them together?
When Tiago finds himself caught up in small town shenanigans and the town blames Ronnie for tragedy, Peter is forced to pick sides. But this choice just might cost him the home—and the woman—he loves.

Growing up in Minneapolis and attending the U of MN, I learned to love city life, although I’m a woodsy girl at heart. Or maybe I’m an adventurer — having lived and traveled all over the world, including Siberia Russia as a missionary for eight years. Probably that’s why my characters can’t sit still, and seem to get into one scrape after another — they’re too much like me! I love God, my family, my country, my church, and feel privileged every day to be able to write stories.

Michelle Sass Aleckson and Susan May Warren bring us back to that wonderful and charming little town of Deep Haven, MN for another great story. When Veronica Morales and her kid brother come to Deep Haven for her to take a job as a paramedic, she is wary of everyone in the town. Will they fit in here? Especially since most folks seem to think a local should have gotten the job Ronnie is filling. Hoping this will be a safe place for her ten year old brother Tiago to grow up in and have a better life, Ronnie is hoping against hope they can indeed fit in.
Very soon she butts heads in a big way with the town’s fire chief, Peter Dahlquist. Peter is related to nearly everyone in town and a big vote is coming up for the town council, on which he has a seat. Both sides of his family expect him to vote their way. He wants to please everyone and he just has enough on his plate right now, thank you very much, without a new and very bossy paramedic. Then her little brother gets caught up in some trouble in town and things began to spiral downward. Worse, Peter is beginning to fall for this woman!
Both Peter and Ronnie have some important lessons to learn as they navigate their way through these barriers in the town. Long held family traditions threaten Peter’s happiness and Ronnie feels certain she and Tiago should find a life elsewhere.
Michelle Sass Aleckson has done a bang up job with this one, the third in a six book series set in Deep Haven. Well written with a cast of great characters and set in a town I personally would love to visit and stay a while, it’s one for the keeper shelf. Well done!
My thanks to the publishers for a copy of this book. I was not expected to leave a positive review. The opinion here is entirely my own.
