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.
