ER nurse Macy Wynn learned gritty essential lessons in the California foster-care system: land on your feet and trust no one. She's finally located the fellow foster child she loves like a sister, but the girl's in deep trouble. Macy's determined to help, no matter what it takes. Her motto is to “make it happen” in any situation life throws at her?even when she butts heads with an idealistic cop. Deputy Fletcher Holt believes in a higher plan and a fair outcome?and his ability to handle that by himself if necessary. Now he's been yanked from Houston, his mother is battling cancer, and he's attracted to a strong-willed nurse who could be the target of a brutal sniper.
