Delaney loved her job. Until she is told that she must
cut funds in one department. As it was explained to
her, either cut expenses or lose your job. Since
Delaney doesn't want to lose her job, she knows that she
must meet with the head of the department and see what if
anything can be cut.
Dr Josh Mackenzie is the head of peds. He works day and
night to keep his department going. No vacations, no
social life, only work. Delaney sets out to meet with
him, but Josh doesn't have the time.
When they finally met, the sparks fly. But the big
problem they both have to face is getting the numbers to
match. Josh suggests that Delaney spend a week or two in
his department to see exactly what goes on in it.
Delaney is not looking forward to this. Peds is where
her brother passed away when he was a small child.
Another reason why she doesn't want to cut funding in this
area.
Try as they might, they have come up with a plan. They
must get people to invest in this department. When it
comes time to present her ideas, she is shot down by the
hospital administrator.
Maggie Mcginnis's story is great. Two people, two
different up bringings. I really like the way that she
made their love story so romantic. A little sex, but
not too much. Most of the story centers around Delaney
and Josh. I also found several other characters that I
am sure we will learn more about them in future books.
I also liked the description of the town Echo Lake. I
could see myself looking out at the mountains and the
lake. Maggie shows how no matter what, love can
survive. These two people while coming from different
life styles proves it. What a book that you can laugh
and cry while reading. This is the one for you. Read it
in one day. This is my kind of book, from start to
finish, just couldn't put it down.
Delaney Blair
loves her job at Echo Lake’s Mercy Hospital, where she’s
developed a reputation for being smart, fair, and driven.
When she’s assigned to cut funding, she has to temporarily
relocate her office, put on borrowed scrubs, and go
toe-to-toe with Dr. Joshua Mackenzie, the interim head of
the pediatrics department. His killer smile and rock-star
body are distractions Delaney could do without, but she’s
determined to stay focused while she brings his budget into
line. It’s not working.
Beloved by his colleagues and
patients alike, Josh is too busy caring for sick kids to
talk numbers with the sexy, stiletto-clad Delaney. Every
time they talk business, tensions run high…but so does a
powerful attraction neither of them can ignore. When an
emergency brings Mercy to its knees, Delaney and Josh must
work together to save lives. But can they also find a way
into each other’s hearts?
