Luke Rafferty's life drastically changed when he was 11 and his twin brother showed up at the ranch angry, abused and bitter. Over the years, they've become close and even joined the Army Rangers together. The Luke began a new life after his medical discharge.

Going to medical school after his release is one of few things Luke prides himself in; he loves the rush of the ER. Lately his enjoyment is very basic; his heart rate speeds up and a smile curves his mouth when he gets the opportunity to work with the social worker bringing in kids who need help.

Devon Manning's everyday struggle started as a preteen while being abused by her mother's new boyfriend. This put her on the streets at a very early age, and unfortunately, put her into the system. Devon ran away from her first family as her drug addiction took control until a guardian angel saved her life and placed her with the most wonderful people she ever hoped to meet. Devon's current job as a social worker is driven by her need to help others like she was helped. Her knack for understanding and getting through to the kids is a gift, but when Dr. Rafferty begins following her around the hospital, she is at a loss about how to act.

FRAGILE is a powerfully written novel with intense rollercoaster-like emotions throughout the entire book. I absolutely enjoyed every page.
