"Consultant Kate Burgess is intrigued. Her gorgeous new surgeon James McEwan is so talented, but why is he always late? Because, she discovers, he's alone with two small children. Kate's heartstrings are well and truly pulled, and, when James finds himself temporarily homeless, Kate can't stop herself offering assistance. James's kids blossom with the love and support of Kate and her large extended family, and he just wishes she could be part of his. Then James realises that Kate wants children of her own, but does she need them as much as they need her? If he asks her to marry him, maybe this Christmas all their dreams can come true!"--Publisher description.
