She's the woman he doesn't remember. He's the man she can't forget. Bad boy Hank Hazardous Lazarus used to have everything: a gorgeous girlfriend, a career as a freestyle snowboarder and a spot on the US Olympic team. Nine months ago, after a bad crash in the half pipe, he woke up in the hospital, unable to move his legs. Now he’s landed there again, but gravity is not the culprit. His family is pressuring him to try a groundbreaking treatment, but Hank self-medicates with a bottle of tequila instead. Doctor Callie Anders has the courage to restart a patient’s heart with a thousand volts of electricity, yet she’s afraid to risk her own. So she doesn’t confess to her newest patient they they met just before the accident, an encounter that he doesn’t remember. Even as their friendship develops, she won’t admit that she regrets turning down his dinner invitation, or that her heart stutters every time those inked shoulders roll through the door of the therapy department. With winter coming again, Hank needs a hand out from under the avalanche of his disappointments. If only Callie were brave enough to take the job. Views: 62

I smell fabric softener and feel the touch of soft cotton even as voices cry out to me, voices I know as well as my own. Who are they? The fiery one, the one of the earth with the heart of green. The cool, white one with the logical mind... they fade away as a single, crisp voice breaks through, though not the one I was expecting. Not Liam's.Syd. Her desperation is obvious, clear and poignant. I open my eyes and find Alison Morgan, my dead best friend, hovering before me. Go home.I gape at her, heart pounding. I can't. I just can't. I've left it all behind—SYD. She flies backward, voice a wail as the dark swallows her. GO HOME.Syd's time with the drach has given her the respite she needed, the peace she's craved for so long.
