Medical student Christina Price has worked hard to rise above an upbringing filled with neglect and the assumption that she would never amount to anything. She promised herself she would never go back to her hometown, but when a twist of fate lands her working there in an army clinic, she must confront past hurts if she wants to succeed. And then, she meets Aiden.

Captain Aiden Bell is used to the hard life of an army officer. But his career has taken an emotional toll that he's avoided dealing with, until Christina stirs memories, desire, and hope. From the pure waters of Crystal Creek and coastal mountains, from a touching country wedding to the smoke-filled skies of fire season, Crystal Creek is a journey of love, trust and courage, where water is thicker than blood, and hearts are changed forever.
