Healing the Heart. Gilbert, CO, #2

Melanie Griffin, a well-respected surgeon at the city's best hospital volunteers her time at an inner city clinic. There she runs into another doctor, Jared McDermott, who she has a history with. Between bickering with him, she realizes not all her feelings for him have been buried. And that's not all the trouble she faces. Jared McDermott swore he'd gotten over Melanie Griffin since the last time he walked away from her.
They could never seem to stay away from each other, even if he knew nothing good could come of it. Especially when he had to focus on raising his younger sister. But, he pulled both of them out of the pit of their childhood and was ready to help others as well. So, he knows he's staring disaster in the face when Melanie starts volunteering at his clinic. But, he can't turn away from it or her. After treating the victim of a brutal assault, an obviously troubled boy, Melanie realizes intervening may have brought her into deeper trouble than she can handle.
In the meantime, things get more serious with Jared, and she isn't sure what's more dangerous to her well-being; the threats against her or what Jared could do to her heart. Jared wants to do everything to keep her safe and with him, but he just might be holding on too tight. Will they be able to come to terms with each other before it's too late?
