Catherine Ashley first saw Josh Dallas in a dream--a tall auburn haired man sporting a smile that lit up the darkness and made her insides quiver in the niecest way. But the fact that he showed up so soon after she'd just recalled a tragic prophetic nightmare from her past might not be a good thing--for either of them. When geologist Josh awakes in the hospital after an automobile accident and sees his nurse, Catherine, he's convinced she's a beautiful angel. Catherine makes it a rule never to get personally involved with patients. But Josh soon has her breaking all the rules and his angel nurse becomes a passionate partner sharing his bed, as she shares her heart with him. Always hungry for new adventures, Catherine's love isn't enough to keep globetrotting Josh from taking a job in the Amazon, despite her pleas that he shouldn't go. He laughs away her warning that she dreamed he's headed for danger. But, Josh's amusement turns to horror when he's kidnapped and nearly dies at the hands of his brutal captors. Josh escapes to a missionary settlement where he languishes for several months suffering with amnesia before he finally returns home. When Josh sees Catherine embracing his best friend he mistakenly believes they're having an affair and leaves. Determined to prove her innocence and win back his love, Catherine goes to Josh. Their reunion is strained by his lingering bitterness, but the sexual attraction between them is too intense to deny. Josh takes Catherine back in his bed. Now she must get him to accept her back into his heart.
