Book Description:
Twelve years of marriage provided Catherine Prentice the ideal career. She enjoyed raising her children and baking cakes. Divorce provided her with disillusionment and overwhelming challenges. Her husband married her one-time best friend, and now continuously underscores her inability to provide for her children financially. Still on probation for her new job in the hospital's public relations department, Catherine's job is on the line when Dr. Martin Connaughton refuses to go along with surgery on his newest patient. Martin is a rebel. He refuses to comply with hospital politics for the sake of publicity, especially when doing so is morally wrong. Five years ago his wife died when they were in Northern Ireland, and he has subsequently immersed himself in his work, building emotional walls that forbid entrance by other people. Yet somehow Catherine slips past his defenses, making him smile again. Then the chief of surgery recommends an operation for Martin's newest patient, and he cannot agree. His defiance risks his job and Catherine's as well. He also risks both of their hearts.
