Come Closer

Come Closer

Sometimes appearances deceive. Take me, for instance. I look like a respectable doctor with his shit together, but the rural Montana mental hospital I work at is actually a sanctuary from my demons. At just thirty-five years old, Iâ€™ve already failed on an epic scale. Treating patients at Hawthorne Hill is part of my atonement.
Iâ€™ve found peace when a new patient turns me inside out. Allison Cole is a beautiful, haunted survivor who fell into silence after witnessing a murder. But even without words, Iâ€™m drawn to her. The closer we get, the more Iâ€™m tempted to cross my professional boundaries and give in to my desire.
Soon I find myself in a desperate race to put the pieces of Allisonâ€™s silence together. Her life becomes inextricably entwined with mine as I fight to save the second chance I never thought Iâ€™d have. Iâ€™ll break whatever rules I have to in order to protect this woman whoâ€™s been to hell and back. For her, Iâ€™ll do harm.
