In A Cry for Hope you meet Jamie's carefree younger brother, Will. Now read his story... Will McAdams is a New York City firefighter who has always lived in the shadow of his older brother, never quite measuring up to his parents standards. He lives his life without regrets, and answers to no one. The women love him and he uses that to his advantage, making it clear that he only has one use for them. Gabby Spencer is a nurse in the burn unit of a busy New York City hospital. Her guarded personality doesn't allow many people into her life and her patients take the place of her lack of family. She masks the pain that she is harboring deep inside with quick wit and sarcasm. When Will becomes one of Gabby's patients they form a special bond and soon become each other's solace. But Will doesn't see her like every other woman in his life. She means the world to him and he feels an underlying need to always protect her - most of all from himself. Even though he wants her more than he's ever wanted any other woman, he's not willing to take that next step and jeopardize everything they have. When jealousy and pain begin to overtake their once perfect friendship, will Will's fear of falling in love and never measuring up, cause him to lose the one and only woman to ever own his heart? * This is a companion novel to A Cry For Hope and can be read as a stand-alone.
