Dear Reader
I am thrilled to have been asked to provide Book Six in this eight-book continuity about Angel Mendez Childrenâs Hospital, set in New York City, just a few hours from my home. It was an honour to work with the wonderfully talented authors who contributed to this series.
My story is about Scarlet, the head nurse of the hospitalâs NICUâNeonatal Intensive Care Unitâand Lewis, the head of the hospitalâs paediatric emergency room.
Since I have no first-hand knowledge of NICUs, this book took quite a bit of research to pull off. But I love learning new things, and now have a healthy respect for the hard-working nurses and doctors who provide care to the tiniest of patients and their families.
In this story I touch on the issue of adoptionâa topic near and dear to my heart as I was adopted. It takes a special person willing to make a lifetime commitment to adopting, taking care of and loving another personâs child from birth through adulthood, or anywhere in between. I hope I did the storyline justice.
I love to hear from readers! Please contact me at [email protected]
Thank you for buying and reading my books.
Wishing you all good things

This book is dedicated to men and women around the world who have found room in their hearts to love and nurture someone elseâs child and in the process make them their ownâlike my parents did. With special thanks to my wonderfully supportive editor, Flo Nicoll. I donât know how Iâd make it from the beginning to The End without your guidance and encouragement. You are an absolute gem!And to my loving family for making me food, for making me laugh, and for making me proud. And, in case youâre wondering, yes, my husband does read my books!

SCARLET MILLER, head nurse of the NICUâNeonatal Intensive Care Unitâat Angel Mendez Childrenâs Hospital, lovingly referred to as Angelâs by the staff, walked onto the brand new, now fully functioning unit sheâd played a key role in designing and creating, feeling more at home than she did anywhere else. Feeling proud of all she and her wonderful colleagues had accomplished, during her four years as a managerânational recognition for providing the highest level of care available for sick and premature newborns with one of the lowest mortality rates in the U.S. A high tech yet caring, state of the art yet warm and welcoming sixty-two bed unit that the residents of New York City and its surrounding areas kept at or near full capacity on a regular basis.
âLooks like someone finally had herself a hot weekend,â Linda, one of her older nurses said, walking up beside her. At least she wasnât complaining about the switch from the open floor plan of their old setup to the mostly private rooms of their new wing.
âIf by someone youâre referring to me.â Scarlet stopped at the nursesâ station, took the pink message slips held up by one of the unit secretaries and gave the young woman a smile of thanks before turning back to Linda. âAnd if by hot youâre referring to my oppressive, sweat-drenched, Saturday night of misery, the hottest eleventh day of May ever recorded in Weehawken, New Jersey, during which I spent more than sixteen hours without power ergo without air conditioning, then yes. I did indeed have a hot weekend.â
