Raina's life had been hell ever since her father died and her aunt moved in. She struggled for years to keep out of her aunt's way while working behind the scenes to get the woman out of her house. When her aunt brought in someone who could destroy her, she ran and found herself in worse trouble—her life was in danger.

When Dr. Alex was called to help, he thought his friend was making him treat one of her animals again. Instead, he found a beautiful, very sick young woman. His first instinct was to take her to the ER, but she fought it. At his house, he worked diligently to make her better, and along the way, he fell in love with her. Now, he not only had to heal her, but he needed to keep her safe, too.
