River by Lexi Rose

Kara’s an in-home nurse with a big heart, struggling to put her younger brother through college. River’s a rugged mountain man who’s just found out his mom is dying.
Forced to live under the same roof, a rocky start turns into a smoldering passion. But first, River needs to protect his woman from a lecherous loan shark, hell-bent on destroying her life.
Can River overcome the pain in his heart, and allow himself to love the woman of his dreams?
Will a bad first impression ruin their chance of a lifetime of love?
And, can Kara put herself first for a change? Instead of always sacrificing her happiness for others?
