Welcome to Hathaway House. Rehab Center. Safe Haven. Second chance at life and love.Keith came to Hathaway House at his sister's insistence. For he has already given up on regaining the future she keeps telling him that he can find here or, for that matter, any other future worth having. And, besides, don't they know he's too weak for the trip and for the treatment and for any of the plans the team has for him? Don't they know he's broken beyond repair, and nothing they can do will fix him?But apparently they don't because no one listens to him. Not the doctors. Not his sister. And definitely not the tiny woman who keeps delivering his coffee at 5:00 a.m.Ilse, head chef for Hathaway House, rarely ventures out of the kitchen she manages. It's easier to deal with the groceries and the staff than it is to see the pain and suffering of those she feeds. But something about Keith and his frailty calls to her. She can't help but go out of her way to ensure he has everything he needs. Even though she knows she cannot keep their relationship on a professional level, once started.Even if not in her best interests to do so. Because, in this case, surely Keith's best interests matter, so much more than her own.
