A little boy, deserted and barely alive, arrives at St. Joes Emergency. Pediatric nurse Hailey Bergstrom takes David into her arms and her heart. Nurturing but plain, she knows that for her there will be no romance, marriage, children of her own. And then social worker Roy Zedyck walks into her life, and suddenly Hailey's heart is out of control, with love for David—and for Roy, who feels as deeply for Hailey as she does for him. But then he deals Hailey's hopeful heart an unexpected blow that sends her reeling.
