Hope's Crossing is still reeling from a devastating accident, but one occupational therapist may be exactly what the town needs...
Evie Blanchard was at the top of her field. But when burnout forces her to walk away from her job as a pediatric occupational therapist, she moves from Los Angeles to Hope's Crossing seeking a quieter life. So the last thing she needs is to get involved with the handsome, arrogant Brodie Thorne and his injured daughter, Taryn.
A self-made man and single dad, Brodie will do anything to get Taryn the rehabilitation she needs...even if it means convincing Evie to move in with them. And despite her vow to keep an emotional distance, Evie can't help but be moved by Taryn's spirit or Brodie's determination to win Evie's support—and her heart. With laughter, courage and more than a little help from the kindhearted people of Hope's Crossing, Taryn may get the healing she deserves—and Evie and Brodie might just find a love they never knew could exist.

Thayne’s second Hope’s Crossing contemporary (after Blackberry Summer) is sweet without being cloying, and refreshingly free of the sex-manual minutiae that too frequently clog the genre. Tanked-up joyriding teens crash their vehicle, leaving one dead and another badly hurt. Brain-damaged Taryn Thorne is so surly she gets ejected from her rehab facility, so her father, gorgeous mogul Brodie Thorne, inveigles former physical therapist Eveline Blanchard into setting up Taryn’s home therapy. Evie accepts for “just a few weeks”; after the tragic death of her adopted daughter, she’d much rather be beading at the String Fever bead shop or exploring Hope’s Crossing’s stunning Colorado mountain scenery than returning to her old career. From the start, Brodie feels unsuitable lust and indefatigable longing for Evie, while she gradually abandons her initial resistance to his real estate development plans and yummy piratical looks. Plenty of tenderness and Colorado sunshine flavor this pleasant escape. Agent: Karen Solem, Spencerhill Associates. -

After losing her daughter, Evie Blanchard gave up her physical therapy practice in Los Angeles to move to the small mountain community of Hope's Crossing in the Colorado Mountains. She likes the friendship she has found with the other beaders she encounters in her bead store job. When Taryn Thorne, a teenager who had been gravely injured in an accident that impacted the entire community, is sent home from a rehabilitation hospital after refusing to participate in her therapy, her father, Brodie, a wealthy businessman, begs Evie to temporarily take over management of Taryn's recovery. Physical therapy brings back the emotional loss Evie experienced, and working with Taryn is an enormous challenge. Thayne, once again, delivers a heartfelt story of a caring community and a caring romance between adults who have triumphed over tragedies.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
