MWill Lark Smith find her way after she's kicked off the Oncology service and bumped down to the ER because she weeps too much when her patient dies? Maybe, maybe not.

Good grief! Then there's the person who shows up with an injured man and she falls for the deliverer of the injured guy when she isn't really looking (or is she?) for a romantic interest. But he turns out to be an undercover DEA agent, so any relationship they might have isn't going to happen. Or will it?
Getting a new doc to help her after her father is really retired also means she has to check that he's really who he says he is. Yes, he's got the skills, but did he abuse a previous patient and how is she going to find out about that without him learning what she's searching for?

First she suspects her new neighbor, but he's cleared, as is the dead nurse's husband. Then Amelia suspects her husband with whom she's separated. And then she realizes that the man who recently hired her to clerk for him when she can't yet go back to nursing might be the guilty party. But just as she gathers information that points to him, she finds herself running for her life when he comes after her, determined to protect what he's been doing. Can she escape, with her service dog protect her, or will her meddling be the end of her, too, perhaps just like what killed her friend?...more
