These newcomers to Nugget have left painful pasts behind them-just in time to embrace a future together . . .

Picturesque Nugget, California, couldn't be more different than the glittering caverns of Manhattan, but Brynn Barnes is grateful for the change. After the accident that took her husband's life and seriously injured her young son Henry's legs, a clinical trial from a pioneering young doctor offers Brynn hope that Henry may walk again. And even as the magnificent landscape and the town's hospitality help mend Brynn's broken spirit, it's a certain handsome surgeon's compassion that soothes her aching heart . . .

Reeling after a bitter divorce, Ethan Daniels has brought his medical practice and his young daughter to Nugget, where he hopes its homey warmth will ease the transition to a family of two. A new relationship is the last thing he should be thinking about. But Ethan can't help his immediate attraction to beautiful Brynn-or the feelings she's awakening in him. For two people battered by life's cruelest blows, love may be the perfect prescription . . .
