Pretty Wild Thing

2017 Carolyn Readers Choice Award

While other girls my age are hitting the clubs and getting laid, I spend my time changing catheters, bathing, and feeding my younger brother Hank. He's been my world since our parents died, since a tragic accident left him paralyzed from the neck down. He relies on me for everything and requires twenty-four-seven care. Sometimes I think about what it might be like to date, but I can't leave Hank for even a minute. It's more than a girl should have to cope with, but I'm happy to do it because I love him so much.

When extreme sports enthusiast Tucker Spaulding lands on my doorstep, I have no idea how to explain the mess of my life to him. He's sweet and sexy and wild. And he treats Hank like a man instead of an invalid. No matter how much I like Tucker, I can't risk my heart on a guy who plays so recklessly with his life. I know how fragile life can be, and Tucker likes to take too many chances.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm missing out on life and hiding behind Hank. Maybe—just maybe—I should give Tucker a chance.

This is the sympathetic portrayal of a full-time caregiver, her paraplegic brother, and the man who loves them both.
