author: Morris, Stephanie
description: Ashley Bennett is burnt out from the job because of her rich, spoiled patients. She moves back to San Angelo, TX to be closer to her family and friends. Upon stopping by the hospital where she started out in physical therapy, she runs into her old mentor. Her help is enlisted for a patient who needs her expertise. When she finds out the new patient is Christopher Morgan, her world is sent into a tailspin. She and Chris have a history. They have been friends since the age of five, and she had kept a secret from him. She is in love with him. Christopher Morgan feels like he is having the worst luck in the world. His mother is a meddlesome matchmaker distracting him from finding the woman of his dreams on his own. It gets worse when his horse training session goes awry, and he ends up in the hospital. He is told his new physical therapist is Ashley Bennett, the woman he has secretly been in love with for years. He had no idea she was back in town, but now that he does he won't let her go.
