Descripción editorial
Slow, Southern second chances never burned so hot in this sexy small town series starter from USA Today best-seller, Kimberly Kincaid
Nothing wrecks Hunter Cross’s composure. Not working his family’s ranch from sunup to sundown. Not busting up his shoulder on the job.
Not even coming face-to-face with the high school sweetheart who abandoned their small town—and him—twelve years ago.
Despite the fact that she’s as gorgeous and guarded as ever, he’ll let Emerson patch him up, good as new, so he can get back to business. Nice and easy.
Emerson Montgomery has secrets. No way is she going to tell anyone why she left
her job as a hotshot physical therapist for a pro football team to come back to Millhaven.
Especially not sexy, steady, still-pissed Hunter. Except then she spends time with him. Starts to trust him.
Definitely remembers why she fell for him.
But will her recent diagnosis of MS keep her world upside down?
Or will she discover that second chances really are sweeter…
*****
Crossing Hearts is the first book in the steamy, small town interconnected Cross Creek series. It features a sexy, down-home hero who’s (ahem!) good with his hands, lots of action in the hayloft, and an emotional punch that leads right to a good old Happily Ever After.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The second-chance-at-love story in Kincaid's first Cross Creek romance falters because the heroine opts to avoid parental disapproval instead of confronting it. Crushed by a diagnosis of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, Emerson Montgomery leaves her position as a physical therapist with the Super Bowl winning Las Vegas Lightning and returns to her hometown of Cross Creek, Va., to begin working out of the local doctor's office. Her first patient is her ex-boyfriend, Hunter Cross, whose shoulder injury needs rehabbing so he can help his father and brothers maintain the largest family farm in the Shenandoah Valley. Emerson's single-mindedness in keeping her MS a secret from everybody in town most especially her parents hijacks what is otherwise a sweet reunion story. She does tell Hunter, but then forces him to collude in her secrecy, with predictable results. It's hard to pull off romances focused on big issues, and Kincaid (Skin Deep) doesn't quite manage it.
