Internist Dr. Dillon Traub runs the Thunder Canyon Resort infirmary for the month that staff Dr. Cates is away. The manager Grant Clifton assigns Erika Rodriguez to serve as Traub's assistant and receptionist. Their first meeting stuns both of them as their desire could light up the skies at night. Both knows mixing personal and professional is dangerous, but each considers taking a chance. Dillon asks Erika to go on a date with him. Although she has rejected men since her heart was broken by sophisticate Scott Spencerman, Erika shocks herself by agreeing. However, as they fall in live, he hesitates as he unsure he wants to go From Doctor to Daddy to her little toddler Emilia as he has never recovered from the loss of his child who died from leukemia. Erika has her own issues as she wonders whether she could survive a second broken heart. The key, as always to a Karen Rose Smith's contemporary, is the believable flawed lead couple. Dillon and Erika have issues as he has not moved past the death of his son and she distrusts all males. Inadvertently by being there, Emilia serves as both matchmaker and heartbreaker. Readers will relish the second chance at family, if the adults heed the advice of her offspring and take a chance on love. Harriet Klausner
