CHAPTER ONE
AMY hesitated outside her father’s hospital room. Then she took a deep breath and pushed the door open. No matter what Gavin Sherwood wanted to tell her, she knew that delaying wouldn’t make it any easier to take, so she might just as well get it over with.
Inside the room, she paused to look at the man lying propped up in the hospital bed, surrounded by high-tech equipment.

Amy lifted an eyebrow. So she could rest, or so you could? she wanted to ask.
