Lights of the Heart

Physician Corinthia Madsen Salas -- Dr. Maddie -- has a flourishing practice in the tiny southern town of Maypearl, Alabama. Although she's on call for her eclectic patients 24/7, she keeps her personal life private -- most notably the fact that she is in love with her new receptionist, Ella Lewis. To reveal the truth could be an ethical disaster for her career and her impeccable standing as a civic leader in the small town. Yet, even so, she wonders often if Ella's sly, shy glances indicate a return of affection or just workplace courtesy.

Then the incredible happens, the two are thrust into revealing their feelings and Ella offers to change jobs so that they may have a relationship. Throwing caution to the wind, Maddie agrees. After a blissful evening, Dr. Maddie is called out to a late night emergency and soon the worlds of both women turn completely upside down.

Now Ella is faced with life changing choices. Should she turn away from the challenges a life with Corinthia would bring? Or allow the power of devotion, time and persistence to bring her beloved Maddie back to her arms...

This new romance by award-winning author Nat Burns is filled with quirky patients, comedic office staff and, oh yes -- love. Lots of love.
