He used to be married, but then his wife died in a car accident that nearly took the life of his son as well.

There is no one on the Earth that can get in the way of the love that Patrick has for his son. They have a unique bond as the two lost the only woman in the world that mattered to them.

But they’re also involved with each other more and more. Patrick still has damage from losing his wife and several emotional walls up. Kate’s a surgeon and has her career and professional reputation to protect.

As far as he’s concerned, it’s just another stop to make on the way to his comeback.
One of his reasons for taking the job is getting Val’s father to recommend him. But once he gets there, he finds that he’s very much attracted to Val, who is something of a free spirit.
