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.

Concrete Cowboy by phaetoddwrites
21 parts Ongoing Mature
Clara Elizabeth Bauer has one goal in mind: climb to the top of her profession as a Civil Engineer. Her dream? To be able to care for her sweet hippie mom, Lyla, who raised her while they were in severe poverty. Nothing in her life came easily. She worked for every bit of her success, with no plans to stop now and definitely no plans to slow down for anything or anyone. She's planning to pitch her plan to revolutionize Los Angeles' commuting infrastructure, and she can only dream of what that might bring. The only thing that could stop her dreams from coming true? James Timothy Reed. James Timothy Reed is co-owner of Reed & Whitley, and from Clara's point-of-view, he has everything she wants. The career, the power, and the money to live out his dreams. The worst part? He takes it all for granted. He's arrogant, gauche, and more than a little condescending. From the first day she lays eyes on him, she can't stand him. From the top of his messily-styled chestnut hair, all the way down to his polished ... cowboy boots? Is there anything worse than a city guy pretending to be a cowboy? James doesn't quite know what to make of Clara. Truth be told, he's impressed as hell by her, and knows he should probably keep his distance. Otherwise, things could get a little dangerous. Luckily, she makes staying away easy on him, because as far as he can tell, she hates his guts. At work, he's grateful for the distance, a man can only have so much self-control. But off the clock, his thoughts of her are fair game, and she's driving him crazy.
