In the aftermath of a deadly earthquake, it's chaos for trauma surgeon Jessica Hansen. Among the many victims, one patient stands out: San Diego Police K-9 search and rescue officer Cal Palmer.
Cal vows to help Kayla, a child orphaned by the disaster. But he needs Jessica's help. Will their shared concern for Kayla and for Cal's canine partner, Scout, allow them to put aside their personal torments and discover the difference love can make?

Excerpt:
He signaled to Scout, ordering him to do a quick
search to make sure they weren’t leaving anyone behind. The dog didn’t give any
indication that there was anyone else present.
A light vibration had Cal bracing himself again
and grabbing for Scout’s collar. The rumble passed and he exhaled.
Back in the atrium, he strapped Scout into the
hoisting harness and tugged on the guywire, signaling to the firefighter to
lift him out. When the harness came back down, Cal secured himself in quickly,
and gave the two tugs to let Adam know he was ready. He could hear the winch
kick in and he began his slow ascent.
He was almost at the top of the atrium, nearing
the elevator shaft, when he felt what seemed to be a gust of air whoosh down
the opening. Simultaneously, the building shuddered again, and Cal started to
swing and twirl on the hoisting rope. With the next tremor, he was catapulted
toward a solid interior wall. He leaned back to try to control his motion and
was able to maneuver sufficiently to cushion the impact with his legs when he
collided with the wall. The force sent him careering backward. Just as he was
twirling around once again, another rumble emanated from the ground beneath and
seemed to rise up to engulf him. An ominous grating sound followed.
Cal’s blood ran cold as he watched a ceiling beam
tear loose to his right. Still anchored to a column by some rebars, it hurtled
toward him like a battering ram.
He thrust back and as far out as possible, and
flailed his legs to increase the swing of the rope. Unable to control his spin,
he was propelled in the opposite direction from the one he’d intended, right
into the path of the beam.
