He's supposed to be building up walls... Not tearing hers down! ER nurse and single mom Sarah Schaffer is always helping others--even on vacation. When the town of Hatchet Lake needs her help after a horrific storm, Sarah jumps in, even while she's planning her next move with her young son. What she's not prepared for is her intense connection with sexy army medic turned contractor Desmond Torres. Sarah doesn't do commitment, and she's always on the move, so short-term is all she can offer him. But the more time they spend together, helping the town and at her best friend's ranch, the more Desmond seems to break down the walls around her heart. Will she be able to get disentangled in time to shield herself--and her son--from the inevitability of heartbreak? From Harlequin Special Edition: Believe in love. Overcome obstacles. Find happiness.
