      “Maybe our duck could race your dad and brother’s duck?”

      Shay’s small son studied Natalie as if he couldn’t quite decide what to make of her offer. Then he took her hand and walked with her.

      “Oh, good. I’m so glad you’re here to help me.” Natalie gave Shay a smile that made his insides do crazy things.

      “Are you guys ready?”

      “Oh, right.” Shay forced himself to focus on the duck and not Natalie’s playful smile.

      “Okay, on my count. One, two, three. Go!” she yelled.

      At the last second, Natalie and Liam’s duck surged ahead and toppled off the trough and into the bin at the other end.

      “Great job, buddy.” She scooped Liam up and twirled him around. “We did it.”

      Liam tipped his face to the sky, giggling as he clutched the sleeves of her sweater.

      Shay’s heart expanded at the sheer joy on Liam’s face and Natalie’s willingness to jump in and play.

      Didn’t she know how much she meant to them already?

      How much she meant to him?

      Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

      —Proverbs 3:5–6

      Dear Reader,

      Thank you for reading The Firefighter’s Twins. It was inspired by a field trip I took with my kids to a former tobacco farm that was transformed into an outdoor playground and pumpkin patch. When we drove past a beautiful restored livery that had become a wedding venue, goose bumps shot down my arms, and suddenly a new plot was germinating. Little did I know all the ways God would challenge me and help me grow as a writer through the creative process. I spontaneously entered this story in Harlequin’s Blurb to Book contest, and while I didn’t win, the decision to boldly submit my work ultimately led me to becoming a Harlequin Love Inspired author, which is a dream come true.

      I think my experience writing this novel is reflected in Natalie’s journey as a character. She longs to chase her dreams, yet struggles to trust God’s sovereign plan for her life, especially when obstacles arise. I hope Shay and Natalie’s story inspires you to step out in faith and chase those big dreams God has planted in your heawrt, as well as cling to the knowledge that God is good and He is always for us.

      I love hearing from readers, and you can find me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and at HeidiMcCahan.com. All subscribers to my e-newsletter receive a free novella that isn’t available anywhere else. By the way, if you enjoyed The Firefighter’s Twins and would post an honest review online, I’d be grateful.

      Blessings,

       Heidi McCahan

      To Davis, Leland, Jonah, Micah, Eli and Luke, who inspired the twin boys in this novel. Thank you. May you continue to spread joy and laughter wherever you go.
