St. Martin Family Saga: Emergency Responders_Can be read as a standalone_ Mia is in trouble.She is alone and scared. She prays for a miracle, and then she meets Augustine-A Marine, turned sheriff, named after a saint.

I go by Auggie, you would to if your mother named you Augustine. I swagger through life as the Sheriff of East Baton Rouge Parish, and I know my good looks and southern drawl make me irresistible to the ladies. With my family name and social stature, I never spend a Friday night alone. It's not a bad gig and the women in town know I'm not the monogamous type so I rarely find myself dealing with a clinger. Deeply devoted to my loved ones, when my best friend, Clay, calls on me, I don't hesitate to employ my honed skills as a former Marine Corps RECON operative.

While I thrive when life runs calm and controlled, my current situation is anything but. Mia entered my life and dumped it on its head. To top it off, she isn't my type. I prefer large breasted Southern blondes with experience in the sack. Mia is slim, Canadian, and to my utter disbelief, a twenty-five-year-old virgin. But then I'd gone and married her-and then she'd passed out. It was when she looked at me with desire in her eyes, and offered me everything she had to give, that I'd proudly sung O Canada.

When I woke a few days later, I had a new name-Mrs. Roy-and a new ring. I just hope I didn't miss the wedding consummation.

In this overland adventure, Auggie leads Mia on a journey of deliverance and sexual exploration. Their connection runs deep and electric, a fact their bodies can't deny. Maybe that's why Auggie pulls away. It takes seeing Mia with another man for Auggie to realize what he's lost and is now determined to reclaim.
