Irene Cantrell has been Dr. Russell's head nurse for seven years. She can't imagine any other life than working at his side, but a young man from her past shows up in New York City and makes it clear that he's still interested, and she can't help but be flattered. Frank Russell has been one of New York's preeminent surgeons, but something's wrong with his hand, putting his career in jeopardy. When medicine is all he's ever known, how can he hope to create a new life for himself? As a doctor, Frank has relied on his nurse for everything, but this is a problem she can't solve. Together, however, maybe they can forge a new path.
