Bold And Brave-hearted

FIREMAN REPORT Name: Jay Tolliver Status: Relieved of duty to recover from injuries sustained in heroic rescueAn earthquake had left celebrity Kimberly Lydell's once-flawless face permanently scarred. And though she withdrew from the world, Kim couldn't forget the strong, brave firefighter who'd risked his life to save hers. When she learned he'd been blinded in a fire, Kim flew to Jay Tolliver's side.Darkness temporarily held Jay prisoner. But he didn't need sight to know Kim was the woman he desired most in the world. Jay would accept her help–and show Kim that real heroes saw beauty with the heart….Men of Station SixThe courage to face danger was in their blood…love for their women ignited their souls.

“After being hurt during the earthquake…my face didn’t heal right. It probably never will.”

Frowning, Jay gazed at Kim with unseeing eyes. “What are you trying to tell me?”

“I’m ugly Jay. That side of my face is—”

Jay framed her face between his big, gentle hands. His fingertips traced every bit of her face. Her eyebrows, the shape of her nose. The cheekbone that had been shattered and the one that was whole. His fingertips skimmed across her lips, following the outline and sketching the seam.

Kim stood immobile, afraid to breathe. A surge of adrenaline urged her to flee. But her body could only respond to Jay’s tender touch.

“Kimberly Lydell, you listen to me.” His rich baritone vibrated with conviction. “Even when my vision is twenty-twenty again, you’ll still be the most beautiful woman in the world to me. That’s how I’ll always see you.”
