Her Unexpected Hero

Widow Summer Spencer is eager for a quiet life—without the worry of loving a man who lives life in the fast lane. But when fire chief Cameron Jackson starts to woo her, it’s tough to resist his charms. Chief Cam can’t ignore the sparks between him and the stately beauty. But when he learns she’s from the richest family in town, he’s not sure he can ever measure up to her expectations. Can he set aside his fears and give true love another chance?

She wasn’t at all surprised to find Cameron at her side.

They’d worked as a team today at the soup kitchen. It gave her a new insight into the fire chief. Most men would have bolted after a woman’s rejection of a date.

She studied him for a moment. Cameron wasn’t just trying to get to know her. She’d seen him talking, then praying with a couple of people after the meal began. Many of them knew him and called him Chief Cam.

Just who was Cameron Jackson?

“I’m going to let Pastor Hines know that the soup kitchen needs some volunteers,” Cameron said.

“I’m just glad you and your friends came to the rescue. Thank you.”

At some point during the meal service, Summer had decided that a date with a

man who would give the homeless almost seven hours of his day was a date she’d like to go on.

Summer let Cameron escort her out the back door and toward her car in the parking lot.

“If the offer is still open,” she said, “I’d like to have dinner with you.”

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Do not be afraid, for I am with you.

—Isaiah 43:2–5

For Pastor Matt Sabo,

who took a photograph of three ministers and provided the connecting thread that would bring together an idea that had been brewing with me for many years. Thanks, Matt, for prompting the idea for the Common Ground ministry that would connect three diverse fictional congregations.
