The Pacific coast's rugged beauty is perfect for Bryce Walker, but this is only a stop on the doctor's quest to cure millions. When Misty Beach local Gemma Cortez is brought into his ER after being shot on duty, Bryce helps save the patrol officer's life.

He realizes the coastline isn't the only beauty in the state. He must know her, but Gemma holds her secrets close, as survival has always been second nature.

Can these two battered heroes give love a chance?
