Touching and complexTucker unerringly hits all the high notes of romance-the spark, the emotional depth, the mental and physical struggles-while creating a couple who seem perfectly attuned even when they are in conflict. -Publishers Weekly (starred review)Twenty-four-year-old truck stop waitress and single mother Catherine Wright has simple goals: to give her five-year-old daughter a happy life and to never again be the talk of the town in Balsam, Pennsylvania (population three thousand outside of tourist season).And then one foggy night, on a lonely road back from another failed date, Catherine saves a mans life. It isnt until after the police have arrived that Catherine realizes exactly who it is she has rescued: Brett Madden, hockey icon and media darling.Catherine has already had her fifteen minutes of fame and the last thing she wants is to have her past dragged back into the spotlight, only this time on a national stage. So she hides her identity. It works. For a time.But when she finds the man she saved standing on her doorstep, desperate to thank her, all that changes. Theres an immediate connection, and its more electric than the bond of two people who endured a traumatic event. Its something neither of them expected. Something that Catherine isnt sure she can handle; something she is afraid to trust.Because how long can an extraordinary man like Brett be interested in an ordinary woman like Catherine...before the spark fades?
