Part of Fool's Gold, book 5
First published 2011
Montana Hendrix has built the life she wants in Fool's Gold, working with therapy dogs and helping others heal. She decides she's ready to find love for herself. Enter Dr. Simon Bradley, a skilled surgeon who keeps his life clinical and controlled. He moves from hospital to hospital, treating children who need his expertise but never staying long enough to form attachments. Simon carries emotional scars from his childhood that make him avoid deep connections. When an accident-prone dog brings him into Montana's world, everything changes. Her kisses awaken desires he thought he'd buried forever. Montana offers him something he's never had: a real home and genuine love. But Simon's instinct is to run before anyone gets too close. He faces a choice between the safe, sterile existence he knows and the messy, beautiful possibility of staying in Fool's Gold with Montana. Will he risk his heart, or will he leave town and shatter hers in the process?
