After that wonderful night 18 years ago Alison's feelings for Petey became very complicated as did their situation. Choosing to keep it all a secret she never told her best friends Lissie and Katie so after all was said and done all the pain and heartache she went through by herself hardened her heart. It's the present time and for the past year Alison's dad has taken a turn for the worst in the final stages of Alzheimer and to top it all off her mom is also diagnosed with another type of dementia. Cutting back on her practice's hours to take care of her parents she's going back and forth between seeing her mom at her house to make sure she's ok and visiting her dad in the hospital twice a day, she feels really exhausted and doesn't have time to even think about her own problems.Petey is back home for one night to tell his parents he'll be retiring from his hockey career at the end of this season. He needs moral support so he heads out to Katie's and that's when he slips on ice and injures his knee, thus ending his career way sooner than he thought. When he gets to the ER on a stretcher the first person he sees is Alison and even through his pain he still wants to spar with her and rile her up. But after his surgery everyone realizes he has nowhere to go because he can't climb stairs. So Lissie volunteers the only place he can stay comfortably recuperating without worrying about steps; Alison's home.With all the time they'll be spending alone no one knows if they'll kill each other. But then again none of them knows there's a history between them. The pages sizzle with their chemistry and passion. Will they find what each is looking for in each other or will they realize they're better off apart? They both need to heal from all the hurt in their past.Overall a wonderful story! I can't wait for the next book in the "Worth" series, "Worth The Effort."
