Skin Deep — Emma Lea

They met under the worst possible circumstances… A serious accident on the job brought James into the ER and right into Isabella's world, then she followed him into his. James lives in the back-end of nowhere but after a serious accident leaves him blinded and scarred, he is forced to seek help in order to return to the outback that he loves. He has always been independent and self-sufficient and the thought of having to rely on someone else for the simplest things causes his temper to fray. Added to the fact that he is struggling with injuries that could potentially end his career and cause him to leave his beloved home in the outback, James is more than a beast to live with. Isabella is sick of being treated like a doormat by her family and wants a change. When an incident at work ends in her being suspended without pay, she jumps at the opportunity to for a career change. What she didn't count on was being isolated in a North West Queensland country town with a surly man who refuses to see the positive side of life. Can Isabella look past the hurt and abrasive side of James to the soft heart underneath and help him to realise that his scars are only skin deep? This is the third full length book in the Love, Money & Shoes Series by Emma Lea.
