Taking college classes, working two jobs, and visiting her elderly friend Rowena at a nursing home has exhausted twenty-nine-year-old Karen Drew--to the point of collapse. Luckily, Rowena's grandson, a doctor, is there to help. Unluckily, Karen is not his favorite person. Brice Carlin blames her for his grandmother's condition . . .

Two years before, Karen had been driving the car that hit Rowena--an accident that Brice can't forgive or forget, even though Karen wasn't technically at fault. But Brice can't let a sick woman find her way home in a snowstorm. Now, stuck with Karen at his house while she recovers from pneumonia, the solitary Brice begins to warm to her presence. Sparks begin to fly that just might melt his heart--and show Karen the strong, sexy, surprisingly compassionate man behind the mask.
