Description
Max Bainbridge is an ace newspaper reporter who gets all the biggest assignments, most recently covering the fighting in Afghanistan. When he is shot on the battlefields, he is operated on and then flown home. The nurse responsible for his subsequent care is Evelyn Hammer, a 35-year-old woman who ran for her life, and from the musical spotlight, when she was 17 and on the cusp of fame. Her new identity has been in place, and impenetrable, ever since. Over the years, she's found singing is a more soothing way to wake people from surgery, and they are usually so foggy they don't realize she's been singing to them. Until Max, that is. Evelyn knows she's breaking one of the cardinal rules of nursing by dating a patient, but she can't resist Max. What begins as an innocent affair with a definite expiration date when Max leaves for his next assignment becomes a real threat to unmasking Evelyn's hidden identity. Max can't control his journalism instincts as one clue after another emerges and he realizes he doesn't know the person he's fallen in love with. Only by uncovering Evelyn's secret past can they move forward with their future. But her past is still there, and threatening. Some secrets are better left alone.
