Defying Gravity

Special Agent, Zeke Cabot, recently "Damaged in Service", has spent three weeks in New Mexico, trying to recover and cope with debilitating bouts of PTSD. After Anne Reynolds, the beautiful divorced nurse rescues her, Zeke finds herself captivated and her rigid defenses crumbling. Before the relationship takes root, Zeke is recalled to Chicago to help her team find answers and close this case from hell, but the tenderness she shared with Anne is never far from her thoughts. Anne Reynolds is cautiously excited by the alluring stranger but also leery and wrestles with her own conflicted feelings. When Zeke returns, their rekindled desire faces yet another obstacle. Once again, another ambush from a lingering menace threatens their safety. Are they both ready to explore a relationship? Is it safe for either to trust again? With only four weeks left of her medical leave, Zeke Cabot needs to focus on what she needs and what she is capable of handling. Flashbacks and her reluctance to acknowledge them, even to herself, keep Zeke from functioning with the skill and training of a seasoned federal agent. Anne needs to navigate this new path with great care. Can she keep her clinical concerns out of the equation? The road to romance has more than its fair share of bumps and tough decisions. Anne is determined, so is Zeke, but is just "Defying Gravity" enough?
