ER Nurse Laurel Bennett is fully dedicated to her job. She may be petite, but she'll take on any behemoth who threatens her patients' safety and well-being. Her feisty protectiveness creates problems when police detective Cade Resnick comes around, investigating a hit and run. There's no denying the sparks between these two professionals, but now is hardly the time to explore their attraction to one another. Laurel befriends a desperate mother and her teenage son, but soon finds herself drawing unwanted attention from a local loan shark. As Cade zeroes in on his suspect, Laurel won't make it easy for him, not while the suspect is under her care. More than once, the two clash when Cade's quest for justice collides with Laurel's concern for her patients. Come along on the start of a new series and meet the staff and professionals that give the hospital its heart. There's never a dull moment at Texas General Hospital, or in the lively college town of College Station, Texas. A fresh approach to quick cozy reads, some dedicated to mystery, some to romance.
