What if the price of your wish is living without it? Rachel Gowen wishes for nothing more than to escape the past decade-to safely lock away the memories that keep her from a future she can only dream about. But a Native American butterfly legend, Ambrose, a mysterious stranger who knows things he can't possibly know, a cast of quirky characters long past their prime, and Nico, a tenacious and caring nursing assistant, plunge her down a path that will ignite the very memories she's desperate to escape. Rachel begins her new life as a nurse in a retirement facility. After all, how risky can it be working with the elderly? She quickly forms deep attachments to her patients, helping them in ways far beyond her duties. And when a casual stroll turns into a budding relationship with Ben, the handsome British doctor who's too busy, too unromantic, and too distant-it may be exactly what she's looking for. But Rachel can't conform to the rules. Nor can she deny the connection she shares with Nico. With her job in jeopardy, Rachel's priorities and relationship with Ben are challenged. But one thing is certain-Ambrose knows the wishes she sent on the wings of the butterflies will be granted, but the price she'll pay will upend her life. Rachel is promised a thousand butterfly wishes-but all she wants is one.
