Over the past few years Lilah Mason has watched her sister find love, get married, and have children, while she's been more than content to channel her energies into her career. A physical therapist with an unsinkable spirit and unwavering compassion, she's one of the best in the field.

But when Lilah takes on a demanding new case, her patient's life isn't the only one transformed. She's never had a tougher patient than Adam, who challenges her at every turn. Yet Lilah is determined to help him recover the life he's lost. What she can't see, until it's much too late, is that while she's winning Adam's battle she's losing her heart... as Adam makes her question her most intimate beliefs about men, about love, and mostly about herself.

Now, as professional duty and her passionate yearnings clash, she must choose the right course for them both.
