When a handsome handyman faces a medical emergency on the Appalachian trail, his sudden appearance in town challenges an ambitious doctor’s plan to remain single for life.
Avery Robinson decided to be a physician after helplessly watching her mother lose a battle with a terrible disease. Now at risk of developing the same illness, Avery guards her heart from love. She’s driven to protect her loved ones as a workaholic doctor in the tiny mountain town of Riverbend Gap, North Carolina.
Contractor Wes Garrett is hiking the Appalachian trail, in memory of the man who died saving his life, when an illness racks his body. After an agonizing fifteen-mile hike to Avery’s clinic, he collapses on her doorstep. He recovers to find himself in debt again—but this time to a beautiful doctor.
When he decides to help her renovate a rundown carriage house, the obstacles to their attraction sprout like weeds—starting with the woman waiting for Wes at the end of the trail. Will he be able to relinquish the debt he owes his best friend? And will Avery find the courage to risk everything for love?
My review: Avery has a mission in life. That is to be a dr. and help as many people as she can along the way. She will never marry as she doesn't want to take the chance of her spouse/children suffer the way she saw her mother suffer. She can take a test to see if she is a carrier. But she is afraid. Then she meets Wes. He became her patient when he became sick on the hiking trail outside her town. Wes hiking to complete the wish of his friend who died while saving his life. Wes will do just about anything to stay out of debt. So when he finds himself in debt to the dr., he does contract work to pay off his debt. Along the way the two find themselves falling in love. But Wes thinks he needs to marry his friends sister out of gratitude. So what are two people supposed to do who love each other but don't think they can? Read the story and find the answer. It is a good clean read.
I was given this book Thomas Nelson via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.
