Dr Sam Doukas isn’t one to keep his feelings private – the whole hospital knows when he has a problem. Except suddenly Sam isn’t talking, and now I know something’s really wrong.
As one of his senior nurses, I urge him to see a doctor. He’s supposed to set a good example. But when Sam announces he’s facing the big C, it churns up all kinds of feelings between us…and turns up all kinds of heat.
He says it’s wrong to use me for healing, but I think our chemistry speaks for itself.
Sam wants to protect me from his illness, but I’m a nurse and a single mother. I know what I want. How can we explore love if he’s too defiant to let me in?
Our sensual healing on his canal boat leads to a very special secret. I know I should tell him, but I can’t until the time is right…that is, if it’s ever right.
I think he has enough on his plate, and frankly, so do I.
Could a surgeon battling cancer really handle a baby if he’s not even ready to handle us?
