Samantha aka Sam to all
her friends loses her arm while in the service wants to prove to everyone that
she is independent and self-sufficient, mainly to the men. She even owns
her own dry cleaning business! But what most people don't know is
that Sam lost more than her arm while in the service and now does not
feel like a "whole" woman.
She meets Blake through
her good friend Zakia and they automatically have chemistry, but Sam is not
looking for any kind of commitment or the complications associated with
"relationships". Blake is every woman’s dream-tall, dark, and
handsome cowboy but she tells him from the get go she only wants to be
friends.
When Blake first sees
Sam getting out of her Chevy Tracker he knew that she was the woman for him, he
does not see her as anything but a beautiful woman and discovers right away
that she is as prickly and independent as they come. Sam keeps telling him over
and over again that she does not do relationships, but he wants more
than "just friends" and he's willing to wait and bide his time for
her to come around and see that he doesn't see her prosthesis, just as a
sexy woman.
When
Zakia's stalker escapes and comes after Samantha, she comes to understand that
Blake is there for her and what he is willing to sacrifice to keep her safe and
yes, protect and help her. Can Sam overcome the feeling she has of being less
than a whole woman and when she tells Blake everything that she lost in the
army will he still want her and think that she is the woman for him and give
him everything he wants and deserves.

Nelson's writing takes you along with her and the love her the characters
at Thunder Creek. You have moments to where you want to either shake Sam or hug
her for everything that she has gone through. She makes you dream about
your own Blake, and that not others always see us the way we see ourselves.
