Dr. Leigh Stathos likes her ER shifts fast, furious, and adrenaline-infused--"Treat em and street em"--with no emotional complications. Lifes taught her a soul-rending lesson: nothing lasts forever, including marriage. And the clock is ticking toward the end of hers. Then an unwelcome confrontation with "the other woman" begins a whole new set of lessons.
San Francisco police officer Nick Stathos never gives up, whether protecting his patrol neighborhood, holding fast to faith--or trying to save his marriage. Seven days is all he has to reach Leighs heart. But when a desperate act of violence slams Golden Gate Mercy Hospital into lockdown, it starts a chain of events that will change lives forever.
