What Gets Left Behind

EMT Ryan Lasakow fixes people. In the consequence, he's got a long history of interesting relationships, the kind that come with broken hearts. He's pretty resilient though and currently single. When Ryan runs into firefighter Will Edwards, downhearted after a particularly fruitless and difficult rescue, he can see that Will could use a friend.Will Edwards is the new guy in town. He used to live in San Diego but moved for his job to Boston. Sadly, Boston ended up full of tragedy when Will's fiance was killed in a car crash. Will had hoped that returning to San Diego would allow him to move on emotionally but that didn't quite work out as planned. On the other hand, Will's career is jogging along merrily. He's just lonely and not sure how to get through his grief and find a life outside of work.So what happens when a guy with a big heart runs into a sweet guy with sad past? Ryan is patient and compassionate but he deserves love as much as anyone else does. Can Will find his way past his grief to love again? A.R.
