Living life to the fullest always requires sacrifice.
Avery Robinson decided to be a physician after helplessly watching her mother lose a battle with a terrible disease. Now at risk of developing the same illness, Avery guards her heart from love. She’s driven to protect her loved ones as a workaholic doctor in the tiny mountain town of Riverbend Gap, North Carolina.
Contractor Wes Garrett is hiking the Appalachian trail, in memory of the man who died saving his life, when an illness racks his body. After an agonizing fifteen-mile hike to Avery’s clinic, he collapses on her doorstep. He recovers to find himself in debt again, this time to a beautiful doctor.
When he decides to help her renovate a rundown carriage house, the obstacles to their attraction sprout like weeds–starting with the woman waiting for Wes at the end of the trail. Will he be able to relinquish the debt he owes his best friend? And will Avery find the courage to risk everything for love?
The second book in Denise Hunter’s popular Riverbend Romance series explores what it might be like to live fearlessly and free.

Summary
Mulberry Hollow by Denise Hunter is one of her best stories.
Avery is a doctor with her own clinic before the age of 30. She is driven to accomplish her goals in case she has the progressive disease her mom died of. I really enjoyed her character and the slow building relationship she has with Wes.
Wes is completing a portion of the Appalachian Trail to honor a friend of his that passed away. When Wes ends up on her porch with a fever looking like a mountain man Avery immediately steps into doctor mode. As their time together lengthens, she sees him more as a man than a patient; especially after he shaves :).
This is a beautiful story with some heartbreaking decisions both Avery and Wes have to make.
