Can a baby mend hearts? Conner Marshall knows the baby left on his doorstep is not his, despite what the accompanying note says. But little Ellie needs a home, a protector, and urgent medical care. Who better to assist with the latter than the doctor's assistant, Kate Baker? Knowing she will soon be leaving to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor, he resists his growing feelings for her. Kate has plans to return east and study to be a doctor in accordance with a promise made to her dying grandmother. Caring for the baby tugs at her heart, making her long for things she must deny herself- family, husband and children. And if she sees Conner and baby Ellie in those roles, well, she needs to stop allowing it. When Ellie's mother returns, will Conner and Kate return to their plans or will love for a little one show them what they truly need? (previously published with HQ, Love Inspired)

Linda Ford grew up devouring books and making up stories in her head—often late at night when she couldn't sleep. But she hadn't planned to write. Instead, she dreamed of running an orphanage. In a way, that dream came true. She married, had four homemade children, adopted ten and lived (at times, endured) the dream. Writing first took her to non-fiction human-interest articles for newspapers and eventually a non-fiction book about tuberculosis set in the 1930s and 1940s (Touched By The White Plague). But romance had always been her first love and she turned to writing love stories. She is multi-published in the CBA market. She lives on a small ranch in Alberta, Canada, where she can see the mountains every day. She and her husband continue to enjoy their children and grandchildren.
