Her pulse took up an uneven pitter-patter, knocking almost reckless at the steadiness of his gaze. She dug her nails into the crinkled paper beneath her bottom, and her voice emerged a whisper. "Why couldn't he have been you?" Dr. Bottari's forehead wrinkled, then smoothed. He tilted his head slightly left. "I don't know, but I would never have walked away." ----- Dr. Marco Bottari has heard many stories from his patients, some more heartbreaking than the rest, and he's learned how to show compassion while holding them at arm's length. But something about Patricia Fanning is different. She's beautiful, for one. Pregnant and single, she's also scared. The good guy in him simply won't let him walk away, especially when a dead body is found in her trunk right outside his clinic. She has no one else and nowhere to go. Yet what starts as a helping hand, soon involves his heart, and a split-second decision that may have sealed his fate forever. From best-selling author, SUZANNE D. WILLIAMS, author of FLIGHT RISK (The Italian Series #1) and ITALIAN WITH A SIDE OF PASTA (The Italian Series #2) comes a story of love, mystery, and murder.
