Second Chance Heart — Kay Manis

Annie's daughter needs a heart.
Jay needs a life outside the operating room.
This year on Christmas, a young girl may bring them both a miracle.

Annie Cordell's life is filled with heartache...literally. She spends her days caring for her six-year old daughter, Georgia, and her nights reading research papers, hoping to find a cure.

A chance encounter with a handsome pediatric cardiologist just a few days before Christmas may offer Annie and Georgia the second chance they deserve.

Dr. Jay Holt is a busy surgeon who's passionate about his work. Saving children has been his life's mission. But it leaves little time for socializing. Could one rare outing in the park give Jay his first chance at love?
