Undamaged: Stories from the San Juan Islands

By Regina Kammer

An island brings together two damaged souls seeking respite and recovery. Will they discover love as well?

 

Working wildlands fires is what Royce Donovan was born to do. But he's been living in Dallas for the last year and fighting urban fires is fraying his nerves. When tragedy strikes, Royce finds solace in alcohol, and ends up in rehab on rural and remote San Juan Island.

 

Samantha Vickers swears she's happy. She has the perfect job as Historian at San Juan Island's National Park. Leaving the excitement and stress of the big city for the bucolic life of an island was a huge change—and a risk she had to take for peace of mind.

 

A firefighter coping with tragedy. A historian escaping traumatic shock. An island brings together two damaged souls seeking respite and recovery. Will they discover love as well?

 

Undamaged is a contemporary firefighter seasoned romance with a silver fox hero and a heroine in her prime. The novella is part of Regina Kammer's Stories from the San Juan Islands collection of standalone short reads set in the San Juan Islands.
