And Never Say Goodbye: A Town of Destiny Novel

Mallory “Ice” McShane lives a quiet life in an old family farmhouse where the illusion of love once existed. When she’s called to take on a donor case, she’s there with open arms to the family in need. She dons her surgical cap and mask and hides her heart. She’s earned the name “Ice” with good reason. But that reason is far deeper than the rumors. Evidence of a past packed away in boxes on a dusty barn floor that haunts her…and a promise still unmet. Time is ticking. She’s getting older. Her future in the hands of a promise she made long ago. As long as her handsome but womanizing colleague stays out of her way, she can make that promise happen.

Surgical preceptor Lawson “Wolf” Gallagher runs the show in the operating room. He’s earned his name by tearing it up in the OR…and with the women. He has a good life. Goes home to his faithful dog every day…works, sleeps, and the occasional female attention. But every time he runs into the beautiful but mysterious Mallory McShane, he loses all focus. Even though he’s trained her, she’s become his equal in the OR, commanding his respect. He tries not to listen to the rumors, but he can’t help but wonder what her story is. His mission is to find out.

When Mallory and Lawson come together after an intense donor case in the OR, they realize a love that’s on a path to heartbreak. A promise stands between them, ready to snatch a future that’s already doomed. A future that’s been laid out for Mallory, dashing any hope of another man’s love. Lawson dares to fight this plan. Will Mallory honor the promise…or her heart?
