An injured football star with an attitude, a feisty, dedicated nurse, and two weeks stuck together in a Denver mountaintop lodge.

Sara Lynch needs an escape from her mother's soap-opera life. When she gets a call from the nursing agency saying a confidential client needs care, it's the perfect opportunity to get the break she craves-two weeks in a mountain lodge taking care of billionaire and former football star, Liam Thomas.

Since his football injury a year ago, Liam's life has consisted of nothing but his smothering sister and painful flashes of the accident that ended his career. When his sister takes off for a two-week honeymoon, he thinks he'll have his Denver lodge to himself-until she hires a nurse to stay with him against his wishes. He'll do anything to make the quick-witted nurse quit so he can brood in peace. After all, a relationship was the last thing he needed.

But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore their growing affection. Now, they must decide to put down their fears and let someone in, or keep up their walls and keep their hearts safe.
