Loud Enough to Love (The Real Love Series, Book Three)

Dr. Malcolm Thorne is the coldest surgeon ever to come home from Toronto, and for eighteen months they have fought about everything. Then a seven-year-old boy on her ward needs heart surgery the hospital cannot do, and Tamika makes a promise the whole island says she can't keep: they will buy the machine themselves, with patties and dominoes and folding chairs if they have to.

Forced to run the fund together, the nurse and the surgeon discover that arguing was the easy part. Malcolm is keeping a secret that could cost Ward Six everything. And Tamika's mother is keeping one that goes back thirty-one years, to the night a frightened nine-year-old boy sat by his dying mother's bed.

Some women are too much. Some are exactly enough.
