With a Little T.L.C.

They met at the hospital when the youngest daughter of the Marchetti family gave birth. The moment the nurse, Liz, saw Joe Marchetti, she fell for his kind gaze. But she was traumatized by the way her philandering father had always kept her family in a state of near collapse, so she had no expectations of romance from handsome men. A year later, Joe applied for a volunteer program at the hospital, but what did this handsome man hope to get out of it? Liz started working with him-and opening her heart to him-when she saw his diligence and honesty.
