Sheās off-limits. Thatās the first thing Dr. Logan Davenport thinks every morning before going to work at the same hospital as counselor Zoey Barnes. Officially friend-zoned because he canāt stand the thought of losing her lifelong friendship, his secret crush can never be revealed. But when Zoey is injured by a patient and Logan realizes how close to the breaking point Zoey actually is, the doctor in himāand the man who loves her more than he shouldācanāt ignore it.
Zoey Barnes is all too aware of the attention her childhood friend receives from others in the hospital. Loganās good looks and bedside manner leave many fawning over him. But when he ākidnapsā her after sheās injured and takes her to his mountain retreat to heal, sheās the one drawn by his bedside attentions. Still, sheās seen what love does to perfectly sane people, and since sheās spent her career helping people recover from the pain inflicted by the ones they love, she knows not to let him get too close. Logan calls her forced vacation a sabbatical. She calls it torture. Nature? Hikes? Seeing Logan in his swim trunks beneath a waterfall?Ā
After too many days together and far too many salacious thoughts, reality returns with a punch. They finally go home to Carolina Cove but Zoey canāt forget exchanging one forbidden what-if kiss. When her patients need her and crashing and burning is one of the many possible outcomes with Logan, can she risk falling in love?
Kay Lyons always wanted to be a writer, ever since the age of seven or eight when she copied the pictures out of a Charlie Brown book and rewrote the story because she didnāt like the plot. Through the years her stories have changed but one characteristic stayed trueā they were all romances. Each and every one of her manuscripts included a love story.
Published in 2005 with Harlequin Enterprises, Kayās first release was a national bestseller. Kay has also been a HOLT Medallion, Book Buyers Best and RITA Award nominee. Look for her most recent novels with Kindred Spirits Publishing.
