Can love be just as lovely...the second time around?

Cardiac nurse Tricia Alderson was heartbroken when her workaholic husband died five years ago. She's now helping her brother and sister-in-law plan their Valentine's Day vow renewal and she's also happy to see two of her nieces in loving relationships. But Tricia has no expectations of finding love for herself again.

Rone Malloy's stressful management job in radio ad sales lands him in Tricia's CCU on New Year's Eve. Headstrong, and refusing to take his health issues seriously at first, he's told he'll have to change his ways or risk another attack, possibly even a fatal one. Rone finally resolves not to waste the second chance he's been given, but dropping old habits is hard to do.

He also really wants to see more of Tricia, the pretty nurse with the lovely blue eyes. Back at work, he's offered a promotion, one which could bring even more stress into his life. Will he accept it? And, if he does, after losing one man she loved to workaholism, will Tricia risk her heart a second time?

Author's Promise: This is a shorter, heartwarming, later-in life contemporary romance with a "happily-ever-after." It's a sweet story with nothing more than hugs and sweet kisses.
