Isabel has 1 rule: no dating. It’s easier-it’s safer-it’s better-for the other person.

She’s got problems. She’s got secrets. She’s got arthritis rheumatoid.

But she matches another sick child. He’s got a persistent illness Isabel’s hardly ever heard about, something she can’t actually pronounce. He understands what it means to be sick and tired. He understands her a lot more than her healthful close friends. He understands her more than her personal father, who’s a health care provider.

He’s gorgeous, fun, and foul-mouthed. And totally into her.

Isabel has a single rule: no dating. It’s complicated-it’s dangerous-it’s by no means sensed better-to consider breaking that rule for him.
