A Case of Murder by Monte Carlo — Becki Willis

ER Nurse Laurel Bennett is fully dedicated to her job. She may be petite, but she'll take on any behemoth who threatens her patients' safety and well-being.

As Cade zeroes in on his suspect, Laurel won't make it easy for him, not while the suspect is under her care. More than once, the two clash when Cade's quest for justice collides with Laurel's concern for her patients.Come along on the start of a new series and meet the staff and professionals that give the hospital its heart.
