After an injury left him unable to continue as an Army
Ranger, Luke Rafferty switched to a medical career. As
rewarding as his previous career was, his work as a doctor
is more so. It doesn't bother him that he has very little
time for a social life until social worker Devon Manning
enters the picture. There is very little Luke won't do to
get Devon to go out with him. From their first meeting
sparks fly but Devon is wary of men and very protective of
her private life. For Devon saving one child makes the
frustration, the danger, and the long hours worth it. She
has spent too many years hiding behind her work and since
meeting Luke she can see how truly lonely her life has
become. Before too long this couple is inseparable with
Devon taking one day at a time and Luke longing for a more
permanent relationship. When danger threatens Devon, all
bets are off and there isn't anything this doctor won't do
to protect her.
FRAGILE is a beautiful love story fraught with powerful
emotions that pulls at the heartstrings. This heroine comes
with lots of emotional baggage and it's up to the hero to
tear down those walls she has built to protect herself.
It's a book about self-discovery, trust and letting go of
the past. Luke is definitely hero material. His actions
are both sexy and deeply tender. The love scenes are
plentiful and sizzling hot. When you add the mystery
element with an interesting cast of secondary characters,
especially Luke's twin brother then you can't help but
devour this book from start to finish. The surprising and
explosive ending is that little something extra that makes
this author's book stand out. I am a huge fan of Ms.
Walker because she never fails to give her readers what
they want. For me that is a book that has characters who
stay with you long after you have finished their story.
Six years after trading in his combat gear for hospital
scrubs, Luke Rafferty is faced with things just as
heartbreaking as those on the battlefield. The abused
children being brought in by the pretty redheaded social
worker tug at his soul like nothing he’s ever
known.
For Devon Manning, being a social worker is
a rewarding job, but also a constant reminder of her own
troubled youth. Devon takes everything one day at a time—
unable to form a relationship with anyone except the
children she rescues.
When Luke meets Devon, he
thinks he might have found what he’s been looking for, but
in order to get the life he wants, Luke has to break
through Devon’s emotional barriers and make her realize
that his healing touch might be just the complication her
life needs…
