The John Doe bleeding out on the ER gurney had to be the sexiest man Adele had ever seen. Too beautiful to die. As an ER nurse, she works to save him, but her bond--her connection--to him lingers long after he's out of danger. What she didn't expect was that before the night was over her life would end up in his strong, surprisingly capable hands. Wyatt Young's exile had few perks -- condemned to Greensboro, he had a steady stream of loud, cranky people, and lousy food. Constantly hunted by his uncle, he's startled when he wakes up shirtless in a hospital, with his sword missing and his torso ripped apart. A beautiful healer helps him recover -- a healer he can't stop thinking about even when he passes out. A bond is formed between Adele and Wyatt -- one they can't fight. Wyatt's uncle seeks to make Adele his personal healer -- at any cost. Adele is the key to Wyatt's salvation and his redemption. He won't let her go without a fight. Ever.
