"Defies genres... a story you can get lost in." - Hollywood Book Reviews "Heartwarming and hard to put down." - Romance Times "A winning contemporary romance... a gently affecting tale of personal redemption, second chances, and the power of faith." - Kirkus Book Review "Thoroughly engrossing." - Midwest Book Review Cash Stetson is a loser. A crapped out, busted loser. He gambled and lost the girl. He gambled with his career and lost his medical license. He's lost direction and whatever faith he might have had. Faith in himself. Faith in the charm that's worn too thin. But the powers that be haven't lost faith in him. Undeserved faith, but still. A stint in rehab kept him out of jail. Can a turn in an impoverished clinic in Mexico convert a loser into a winner? Doctor Maggie Craig knows a loser when she sees one. Cash might as well be sporting a neon tattoo on his forehead. A debutante turned dermatologist turned medical missions director, Maggie knows time heals most wounds, although it hasn't done much to heal her own. Her secrets don't sleep, and her repentance has all but turned into penance. Is she truly helping those in the clinic in Mexico, or using them to hide from her truth?
