Beth Lloyd, Surgical Nurse — Jane Converse

A severe case of heartbreak

Nurse Beth Lloyd had just broken with the man she loved, the brilliant young surgeon Dr. Paul Bryant. She was heartbroken when he accused her of trying to push him into a marriage he felt would hinder his career.

Suddenly into their lives came Jimmy Ladue, critically in need of a heart transplant. And Paul's conservative senior partner, Dr. Weston, so strongly opposed to the new techniques, was for some mysterious reason willing to perform the operation.

It was to be a transplant that would transform all their lives. For in it's a wake desperate secret would emerge -- a secret to threaten the reputation of two fine surgeons and bring Beth Lloyd heartbreakingly close to the man she was trying so hard to forget.
