Take Me Home Nancy Herkness

When Claire Parker left Sanctuary, West Virginia, she thought it was for good. But now she's back, reeling from an ugly divorce. Readjusting to small-town life is harder than Claire expected, so she's surprised, and grateful, to find companionship in Willow, an abused Thoroughbred mare. Willow is Claire's ?whisper horse, ? and they share a special, rare bond. Except Willow isn't the only one helping Claire heal; Willow's ruggedly handsome veterinarian, Dr. Tim Arbuckle, is sympathetic?and secretive. Devastated by his wife's death, Tim thought he?d never find love again. The stoic, sexy doctor was sure he?d left his heart behind when he came to Sanctuary. But Claire stirs up emotions he thought he?d buried long ago. For the first time, the doctor can see past his grief?until Willow falls gravely ill. Tim and Claire must save Willow's life and, surrounded by the majestic mountains of West Virginia, believe in a love so encompassing, so intimately intense, their lives will never be the same again.
