Transplant surgeon Jake Levinson falls in love with Meghan Bryant, widowed mom of one of his patients, but professional ethics and subtle religious differences stand between them. Will their respective families, a five year old angel, her cat and a pup named Patches bring them together...or tear them apart? A heartwarming novella of love bridging obstacles that sometimes seem impossible to overcome. An extra in the Courthouse Connections series, with some shared characters and a similar Florida west coast setting.The overriding theme of this novella, is the saving of one child's life due to the loss of another's. This is a sensual romance, but by no means an erotic one. It was previously published as a short story, but expanded into a full novella in this edition.
