Book excerpt: It wasn’t supposed to happen yet... ...it was too early. The birth of Ava’s firstborn child should have been the best day of her life. Instead, she has to sit back and watch her daughter fight for every breath she takes, while her fiancé fights for his country in Afghanistan. As her vulnerability hits an all-time low, she finds comfort in a pair of intense, green eyes. Eyes that belong to her daughter’s doctor… Dr. Ashton Bailey. She tries to ignore the way her heartbeat quickens each time Ashton is in the same vicinity. She’s engaged to be married to another man...he shouldn’t be making her pulse race. But when the pull between the two is so strong, will it be impossible for her to stay away? As Ava battles with her feelings, she’s convinced things can’t get any worse...until a shocking revelation blindsides her and threatens to bring her down once and for all. Ashton’s job is to save the lives of tiny babies but can he save Ava...when nobody else can? Warning: Recommended for ages 18+ due to heavy subject matters, explicit language and sexual situations.
