Sometimes you're not ready for love
This is the story of a man who couldn't get it up and a woman who'd never got it on.
Privately wealthy, tech company CEO, Owen Lange lost the woman he'd planned to marry in a freak car accident. Four years later he almost lost his own life in a smash that hospitalized him with a spinal injury. A stalled recovery and an addiction to pain medication threatened to rob him of his career and challenged everything he believed about himself.
As a teenager, Cara Douglas put blisters, sprains and physical perfection before boys and kisses. But her dream of being on the US Olympics gymnastics team ended when she broke her back. She'd never be pain free again, and though she refused to be defined by her damaged body, she gave up on chasing her dream of being a costume designer.
Thrown together by concerned friends what's meant as support, veers into suspicion and dislike, but as Owen stumbles towards his recovery he realizes the one person who can help him keep it real is the woman who best understands his pain and won't let him get away with his privilege.
