Dear Reader,
I always enjoy being included in a continuity. Itâs entertaining and interesting to see characters come alive through different authorsâ talents and watch them all interconnect. I count myself fortunate to have been a part of this project. Thanks to my fellow authors, who Iâm proud to share this project with.
I particularly had fun writing the scene about the young boy who broke his leg in a sledding accident. I patterned it after my son-in-law, who had a similar occurrence with his own son. We still give him a hard time about stepping in front of a moving sled. The son has recovered well from his injury!
I should also thank Kim Turner and Marybeth Hunter. Their medical expertise made my story more realistic. I appreciate all their pointers.
Most of all I hope you enjoy Helena and Elijahâs story. They each have a dark past to overcome. Love isnât an easy thing for them. I hope you enjoy the Davenport family and the people who touch their lives at Manhattan Mercy Hospital as much as I do.
I love to hear from my readers. You can reach me at SusanCarlisle.com.
Happy Holidays, everyone!

CHAPTER ONE
DR. HELENA TATE knew what a madhouse the ER could be during and after a major norâeaster but to experience it first hand was always a draining experience. Not only was snow piled everywhere, the wind was howling and the temperature teeth-clatteringly cold.
Injured people filled the chairs and any extra space in Manhattan Mercyâs emergency department in New York City. Even though the department might be the one of the most modern and efficient ERs in the world, it had still been all hands on deck for the last couple of days. Inside it was at least warm and cheerful. Being a week before Christmas, the nurses had banded together to decorate the department. Garlands hung around the unit desk, wreaths adorned doors, and there was even a Christmas tree in the corner of the waiting room.
