Kristin Lowrey wasn't accustomed to widowhood yet, but she was all too familiar with being at the beck and call of her three grown children and their children. Now, though, she had finally summoned the courage to start over again-a new job, a new look, and a whole new life far from her native Augusta, Georgia..all the way to California! Getting away was hard enough, but having an accident en route and ending up on a ranch in New Mexico was nearly disastrous. Especially when her all-too-welcoming host turned out to be a divorced doctor with an irresistibly appealing bedside manner. She and Christopher Harrison had a lot in common. And it wasn't so very far from New Mexico to California. Maybe they could even go there together...if Kirstin could just learn to let go of the past. Was it time to take a chance on a brand new future-time to love again?

      Beyond showing what it is like to live with diabetes, Taylor's ( Whispered Kisses ) insipid romance offers little more than pages of boring small talk and routine sex. Kirstin Lowrey, a 45-year-old widow recently diagnosed with adult-onset diabetes, is driving from Georgia to California to work as a medical research technician. When hypoglycemia causes her to become disoriented, she crashes her car and is rushed to the ranch of Christopher Harrison, a former surgeon now running a part-time general practice in rural New Mexico. While checking Kirstin over, Chris proclaims her figure ``topnotch'' and, not coincidentally, offers her accommodations at his ranch for a few days while she gets her blood sugar under control. Kirstin, who senses an opportunity for ``a little innocent hanky panky,'' accepts. When they're not discussing diabetes, sizing each other up sexually and speculating on a possible relationship, Kirstin whines about her late husband (who didn't appreciate her and was mysteriously squirreling away part of his income) and Chris laments about the high-powered career he lost (in an incident that strains credulity to the breaking point).
