Nurse Kate Rhodes is duty bound to report the abusive father of one of her charges—despite the lawyer who proclaims the man's innocence.
Stephen Creighton isn't in the habit of getting involved in his cases. For him, it's get in, fight like hell, get out. But he has to invest more when he finds out Kate's actions have put his clients' lives in jeopardy. And now the father and son have gone into hiding.
With the father being sought by the authorities and the son in desperate need of medical treatment, it's a race against time. One Stephen and Kate can win only if they work together... Something that's even harder to do when the tension between them becomes white-hot passion.
