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.
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…
