Book Description:
Taos, New Mexico wasn't far enough from home for Theresa Morales to run to. But this Texas girl didn't think there was anything that could wipe away the pain of her mistakes, even in the arms of Dr. Dennis Harrington the local doctor at the Taos ski resort where she sought refuge.
But the past quickly caught up to her when a local kid, Dennis's nephew, becomes traumatized by a fatal New Year's Eve accident that has left him feeling responsible. Dennis couldn't deny he was immediately taken by Theresa the moment they'd met. But the accident that pulled him away from the New Year's Eve gala where he'd danced with her and held her close, had change things for all of them.
Now he's desperate for Theresa to help for his nephew, who is so fragile he fears the worst. The sadness Dennis sees in Theresa's brown eyes tells him she's running from something that happened in Texas. Something she can't face.
When the past comes back and Theresa heals enough to return to Texas, will it leave both of them brokenhearted?
Excerpt:
“I didn’t know
who else to go to. I really need your help.”
Teresa Morales
listened to Dr. Dennis Harrington’s words as she sat curled up on the soft
beige sofa in the lodge at the Taos Falls Mountain Ski Resort. The fire in the
huge granite fireplace in the center of the room was burning hot—almost too hot
for her comfort. Or maybe that was just her anxiety kicking in. This was
supposed to be her vacation. No one was supposed to need her help here.
She bookmarked
the page in the book she had been reading before Dennis’s abrupt arrival and
closed it, setting it aside on the end table. With a swift motion, she
untangled one long leg out from underneath her and brusquely hit her bare feet
to the wide pine floor with a dull thud. If this was his idea of a joke, she
wasn’t laughing.
“Dennis, I’m
just a tourist here. What help could I possibly give you?”
“Last night...”
His voice trailed off. His face looked stricken, and Teresa knew he wasn’t
talking about the New Year’s Eve party they’d both attended—or the dance they’d
shared. No, he was referring to what had happened afterward—the reason behind
the beeper call that had pulled him out of her arms and away from the party
after their dance. The horrible car crash on the bridge just a few hundred
yards from the ski resort had been the only topic of conversation throughout
Taos Falls today.
“I’m not sure
you understand how severe the accident that took place last night really was.”
