But when baby Nadia has trouble breathing one night, Kara’s frantic 911 call brings that same intense first responder right to her door… NYFD paramedic Reid Bennett has a compulsion to help frantic parents. But after the way he reacted to the beautiful woman in the department store that day, she wants nothing to do with him.
