Tucker O'Brien hates doctors and know–it–all Paige Miles is no exception. The war veteran wants to be left alone. His bum leg is a lost cause – no matter what the nosey doc's promises are. Besides, Tucker's only in Desperation, Oklahoma, to spend two months with his son – a teenager he never knew existed. When time runs out, so will he...just like he did nineteen years ago.

Yet the relief Paige offers is hard to pass up – as is a chance with the beautiful physician. So Tucker will make her a deal: he'll agree to physical therapy, but only if she's his personal caregiver!
