Sloan Whittaker was resentful--and mad as hell at the world. Frustrated by his slow recovery following an accident, this proud, young man had chased off everyone who'd tried to help him. He was a prisoner to his bitterness--convinvced he could never walk again.

Joy Nielsen had been there herself. And she understood the battle Sloan had to fight. But it was a battle she knew he could win--all he had to do was start believing. As his therapist, that was all she wanted. As a woman, Joy feared that once he walked again, the love that had grown between them would be left behind.
