Brooks:
One phone call. One move. One cancer diagnosis that flipped my world upside down, pulling me back to the town of Emerson Falls in a flash.
But I never counted on one woman to alter my plans when I came home. Jessalyn Harris took me by surprise with her feisty attitude, tiny stature, and bold personality. It probably didn’t help that we worked together in the Emergency Room at the hospital either. And the more I got to know her, study her, crave her, the more she became a light in the dark world my mother’s cancer cast over me.
Of course, there can’t be love without some obstacles in the way—and I am devoted to standing by Jess’s side through it all.
If only she would just let me in completely.

Jess:
I’ve decided I’m cursed because ever since nursing school I’ve had shitty luck in love. I’m convinced that one loss in my life caused a cosmic shift that doomed me to be alone forever, until I met Brooks Bennet.
Being a skeptic and afraid of letting him in, I fight the attraction I feel for him, but he doesn’t accept it. He pushes me and breaks down my walls, leaving me hopeful for once that I finally found the man I’m meant to be with.
But it seems the universe doesn’t want to let me keep him, and I’m devoted to preventing him from experiencing another loss in his life—like the one that altered mine.
