Eden Hadley is a nurse on the children’s floor. She loves her work, but she loves Dr. Nick Watson more. Eden knows Nick sees her as a good friend and nothing more. So Eden puts all her heart into her work with the children.

Dr. Nick Watson is a dedicated pediatrician and after he loses his fiancee in a car accident, Nick works hard and plays harder. He carries a secret in his heart and it is plagued with guilt. Nick could never give his love to another.

Eden knows her friendship with Nick has been strained lately and she is not sure of the reason, but she thinks he has found a new love. As they work together they both find themselves involved in a little boy named Ben. Ben is orphaned and sick with HIV. As Nick and Eden struggle to save Ben, they also both struggle with their own unrequited love.

Ms. Marinelli will touch you not only with the drama of a children’s ward, but also with one little boy named Ben. This story touches on so much of life today and we forget this type of thing is happening all around us. Adding romance that has its issues, you are blown away by the secret Nick has been holding back. Ms. Marinelli has pulled all this together to give you a fabulous read.
