All But Love — Ann Howard White

Doctor's Orders

Mark Garrett had staked his greatest hope on this trip to St. Croix. From the time the jet left the ground in Atlanta, he was determined to leave the problems of his construction firm behind and focus on the love of his life --his little girl. They'd been apart far too long, and nothing mattered more to Mark than gaining custody of his own child. Father and daughter were getting reacquainted when the jet was rocked by turbulence and Beth was knocked unconscious.

Fortunately, the intriguing woman sitting across the aisle was a pediatric surgeon. As a staff member at one of Atlanta's busiest hospitals, Dr. Catherine Chambers had treated hundreds of children, but something about Beth Garrett touched her deeply. Beth's sweet face reminded her of the baby she'd lost long ago. Catherine promised to stay with the child, even if it meant braving the piercing gray eyes of Beth's father.

Mark had never met a woman like Dr. Chambers. She played the role of doctor well, maintaining a cool, professional facade. But beneath the doctor's ice-cold surface were the warm, vulnerable emotions of a woman. Her whiskey-brown eyes warned him to stay away. But one way or another, Mark was determined to find the heart of Catherine Chambers.
