The Italian Surgeon

Rachel Lerini, a tremendously capable nurse, thinks she's perfectly content with her life-until Dr. Luca Cavaletti comes along. He pursues her from the moment they first meet. With looks that could win any woman over, the young surgeon is the picture of Italian charm. She has no idea how to handle him, but she does feel him winning her over...and that's a problem because-despite her talent for healing others-she has wounds that still haven't mended.
