As it often does, the bad news comes in the middle of the night. When attorney Ben Winters’s close friend takes a bad spill and ends up in the hospital, he flies across the country to be there for her. His instant attraction to her brother takes him by surprise. Wanting Zack Anderson is easy; actually having him is a bad idea. While the two connect over concern for Zack’s sister, there are many reasons to fight the attraction brewing between them. Things heat up as Ben’s friend begins to show improvement, but the reasons not to get involved with the younger man remain the same -- long distance relationships never work, and Ben doesn’t do one-night stands. But there’s one powerful reason to give in: Ben has never wanted anyone more.

“I doubt it,” Dr. Bradford said matter-of-factly. “While it can happen, I did get her to answer a few questions for me. She knows her name and the year. She told me her favorite thing to do is knit. She squeezed my fingers when I asked. She’s very lucky. I really do think she’s going to be just fine.”
