When every day is a battle between life and death, can two warring hearts find healing in each other? Emma I moved to the tiny town of Harper Springs, Florida, to find my dreams. I wanted to build a home, grow my own food, and make a difference for cancer patients at St. Agnes Memorial Hospital. I had big hopes and lots of plans. That was before I met Deacon Girard. He’s arrogant and stubborn, arguing with me even when he knows I’m right. How can such a caring and dedicated doctor be so inflexible? And why can’t I seem to get him out of my head … or my dreams? Deacon I just can’t figure out Emma Carson. Our patients love her, and she’s making a huge difference in their recovery. So what’s my problem? Why do I go out of my way to fight with her constantly? Maybe it’s because she makes me question my intensity and second-guess my focus. Or maybe it’s because I’m not sure if I want to push her away . . . or make her mine.

When every day is a battle between life and death, can two warring hearts find healing in each other? Emma My first months on the oncology wing at St. Agnes Memorial Hospital were . . . tumultuous. The near-constant tension between Dr. Deacon Girard and me, a disastrous relationship, and losing a favorite patient might have made me second-guess my decision to move to Harper Springs . . . if it wasn't for my friends. Having them in my life makes everything else bearable. When one friendship begins to grow into something more, well, maybe it's time to move on and forget about Deacon. If only I can . . . Deacon I haven't run away from a damn thing since I was a kid, but I'll admit that's exactly what I did after things got too intense between Emma and me. I took off for Eastern Europe, telling myself that I was there for kids who needed my brand of medical expertise. But the truth was that I had to get away from Emma . . . because what I feel for her scares the hell out of me. I've been down this path before, and I know the kind of pain love brings with it. I don't need to do this again. So even after I return to St. Agnes Hospital, I try to forget what was between us. I ignore my own heart. For as long as I can . . .

Grey’s Anatomy meets Monday Night Football. Heat and heart clash in this rollercoaster of a love story. I’m Noah Spencer. I always knew I was going to play professional football. I always thought I'd marry my high school girlfriend and have a big family. But I never expected to be a widower by the time I was thirty. Losing my wife nearly destroyed me. Now, all I have in my life are my friends and my football career. Focusing only on playing the game is how I survive each day. And then I get hurt in my third start of the season, and suddenly, I might be facing the end of my love affair with football. Now I'm stuck in this weird limbo, where I don't know what the future holds. I'm almost ready to give up when I meet a woman who tempts me to believe that life can still be beautiful and full. But I know the kind of pain love can bring. I know what it feels like when my heart shatters. Do I have the guts to risk it all again?
