Love me…love my dog…

Annabel Cates has a soft heart. As a child, she was always taking in stray cats, injured birds, and errant toads. People thought she’d grow up to be a veterinarian, or perhaps a doctor or a nurse. But on the first day of high school biology class, she had a crisis of conscience when she was asked to dissect a frog. She decided instead to pursue her love of literature and loves her job as a librarian in charge of the children’s area at the Thunder Canyon Library. But her true passion belongs to the therapy work she and Smiley, her lovable golden retriever, do as a therapy dog.

Thomas knew from an early age he wanted to make medicine his life. He was very close to his grandpa, who lost both legs in a car accident when Thomas was only seven years old. The precocious child told his parents that if he was a doctor, he could have saved Grandpa Joe’s legs. He is now the kind of doctor that does perform miracles. Those who have met the orthopedic surgeon are not likely to forget him. Some call his detachment professional; others would call it cold. Quite a few women have called him a challenge, including the one that almost derailed his career. A mistake he doesn’t plan to make again.

The good doctor has a logical, scientific mind—and no heart, some accuse. He meets his match in a woman who believes that emotional connections can heal. With the help of her furry friend, Annabel teaches Thomas that love is the best medicine…
