Two wounded souls weren't looking for love...but one tiny baby had other plans. When Dr. Ani Green drags herself onto the plane after her wedding-that never-was, she's a self-described mess who promptly barfs into Adam Lowenstein's lunch bag--not exactly a meet-cute. But his sweet, friendly demeanor has a way of calming her and even making her laugh. (The fact that he's a total hunkadoodle doesn't hurt!) Somehow, Adam takes her awful do-my-honeymoon-alone trip from unbearable to almost fun. Ani resolves not to get involved with anyone until she figures out why she keeps choosing the wrong guys. But desperation, intense attraction, and a little too much wine in a tropical paradise...oops. What happens in Turks and Caicos stays there. Months later, Ani is struggling to make her hometown dream practice work even though her partners couldn't be more different and despite the fact that her parents returned to Wisconsin from Florida to be closer to her. (Who actually does that?) Even worse, Ani finds that Adam is the new head of the ER - and her boss. Except he's not the sweet, charming guy she knew - he's a rigid rule-follower who's no-nonsense and no fun. Still, she can't help remembering the kind, passionate guy she met. Good thing she's given up men forever and has vowed to never act on impulse again. Until a patient surrenders a baby and begs Ani to ensure that she gets a good future. Widower Adam Lowenstein promised his wife he would go to Turks and Caicos on what would have been their fifth anniversary. Adam would rather eat snails, but a promise is a promise. He's closed himself off to nearly everyone. Love is pain, and he wants no part, even though Ani somehow awakened him from the dead like a whirlwind, and he can't help but get swept up in her kindness, her joy, and her desire to make the world a better place. He swore he'd never love again, but Ani and one tiny, abandoned baby are the family he just might not be able to live without.
