About the book
He was fallible where she was concerned After her father's death Cassie summoned the courage to leave home, where she'd been both sheltered and deprived. She turned to an exclusive New York clinic for her only chance for the future. But Wyatt Field, the remarkable doctor who'd helped so many patients learn to cope with blindness in a sighted world, found himself confounded by Cassie. Unlike her, he couldn't see the irony of demanding the near impossible of her while denying the force of an attraction that overshadowed their doctor-patient relationship.
