Dr. Lukas Bower is the temporary director at Knolls Community Hospital, but he's a doctor first.As an E.R. surgeon he took a solemn oath to put his patients' needs ahead of anyone else's–his own, the insurance companies' or the hospital's. Yet now the future of the smalltown medical center hangs in the balance because of one powerful, vindictive man. And Lukas's faith, as necessary to him as air, becomes a barrier between himself and Dr. Mercy Richmond, a beautiful single mother who can't forgive him. But when a suspicious fire destroys the hospital, all their futures–and their faith–will be tested.
