Rescue Me

Amanda McHenry had no idea this would be the year she fell in love — and the year her world would come apart. Rescue Me Fresh out of college, hungry for a shot in the entertainment industry, Amanda takes a gig as a secretary in the offices of a sleazy television talk show. Saddled with looking after her drug-dealing brother, Amanda is intent on making good things happen while her boyfriend finishes his law degree. She has no intention of cheating on James — until she falls for Gabe, her brother's passionate friend. Swept up in a whirlwind romance, Amanda realizes that she must choose between following her heart or clinging to the familiar. And when her brother's career threatens to destroy everything she holds dear, Amanda's choice becomes a matter of life and death. Hilarious and devastating, Rescue Me is a uniquely suspenseful story about painful mistakes made in the name of happiness, and the courageous attempt to reverse them in the name of love.
