My grumpy new patient is my best friend’s brother—and apparently he’s falling for me. Matt Crane walks into my clinic with a bad knee, a worse attitude, and no intention of making my job easy. Then I discover the stubborn veteran is Nia’s brother, making my attraction to him completely off-limits. When a water-main disaster relocates our sessions, professional distance gets harder to maintain. So does my sanity. He does the exercises he swore he hated. He notices things about me no one else does. Then he shows up at a therapy-dog graduation simply because it matters to me. Somewhere between our too-close sessions, his quiet persistence, and watching him choose something beyond survival, I fall for the one man I cannot have. Until he’s discharged. Suddenly, we have a chance—until I discover the lease waiting for him back east is still tied to his former fiancée. I survived learning to walk again. I’m not sure I’ll survive being the woman he almost chooses. |
