Sociologist Emma Riley’s new research project depends on a sexy bartender who wants nothing to do with her project—and certainly nothing to do with Emma. Too bad she’s way too smart to ever take no for an answer.

Operation: Heal a hero. Subject: Justice Wilder, a true American hero. Badly injured while saving a small child's life -- and possibly facing the end of his military career. Mission: Track down this stubborn, combat-hardened Marine on the isolated island where he's shut himself away. Convince him to accept someone else's help -- for the first time in his life. Complication: Kelly Hart's skill as a physical therapist would heal his wounds. But what happens when he discovers she used to love him -- and she realizes she still does? Mission Success: Uncertain. When a man and a woman share a tiny little cabin -- and a whole lot of history -- anything can happen!
