About this ebook

They’ve both been unlucky in love. Is their luck about to change?

Reality TV star Jordan Stokes is taking time to figure out her next move—tucked away from prying eyes in her grandmother’s home on Gansett Island with her identical twin sister, Nikki. Eastward Look is the perfect place to heal and regroup. It’s not lost on her that her sister was busy falling in love with Riley McCarthy while Jordan’s world and marriage were falling apart in front of an audience of millions. 

Fire Chief Mason Johns might put out flames for a living, but the fitness buff firefighter with a god-like body sure knows how to heat things up. When he locks lips with the island’s newest resident during a rescue, he feels an undeniable spark that he can’t ignore—no matter how hard he tries. The recovering alcoholic has had his fair share of bad relationships, but Jordan could be a game changer. 

He saved her life... but she just might rescue him right back. 

The summer is heating up as we take the ferry back to Gansett Island for another story about love and redemption and second chances. Catch up with series favorites, including Blaine, Mallory and Quinn, Luke and Sydney and of course, Mac and Maddie McCarthy.

Ratings and reviews

All the books in this series are so hard to put down. It's great to see the characters after 'the happy ending'. So happy to have Jordan and Mason have their beginning. Can't wait to read the next book.

Rescue After Dark brings readers back to Gansett Island for book 22 in Ms Force's fantastic Gansett Island Series and introduces Fire Chief Mason Johns and reality TV star Jordan Stokes. And it really was a delightful read, that grabbed me from the very first page, and never let go. As Mason rescues Jordan from a fire, and the sparks begin to fly, and I loved how the couple's relationship developed, the easy banter they shared, and the level of comfort they found in each other pretty much from the get go. Plus with lots of catch-up from familiar faces, including Mac and Maddie, Mallory and Quinn, and Jordan's twin sister Nikki and fiancé Riley along with a few shocks, tears, and laughs. This really was the perfect feel-good romance, and this series just seems to get better and better no matter how many new characters are introduced. Would happily recommend, and can't wait for book 23! 🙂

I love my visits to Gansett Island because it’s great meeting new characters as well as catching up with old friends. This is Jordan and Mason’s story and it’s as captivating as all the previous books. Reality star Jordan Stokes is visiting her twin sister on Gansett Island, she is trying to escape social media and her ex who seems determined to drag her name through the mud. Local fire chief Mason Johns is out on a bike ride when he spots smoke coming from a nearby house and he jumps right into firefighter mode and rescues Jordon from the flames in her grandmothers home. Mouth to mouth resuscitation is needed snd that leads to something very special for this couple but will Jordan want to make her home on the Island and will Mason open up and confide in Jordon with the daemons he fights on a daily basis ....... I loved everything about this book, Jordan and Mason fit in perfectly with previous characters who I have come to class as close friends. Every visit touches mt heart and I really can’t get enough of the wonderful McCarthy family and their partners and friends. Looking forward to more from Gansett Island in the future.
