A good book that quickly caught my attention. Scottish nurse Sorcha is in London for two reasons - to apply for a job at one of its hospitals and to get to know her birth mother. When her time with her mother implodes, she decides to return home. Her trip is interrupted when her train is cancelled, and she encounters a man with a medical emergency. Richard, an ER doctor, joins her in her efforts. After the crisis, they share dinner and an unexpected night of intimacy. Sorcha flees the next morning when she discovers Richard is married. A couple of months later, Sorcha accepts the job she applied for and learns she will be working with Richard. Their reunion is awkward, with Sorcha understandably hurt and angered by his actions.

I ached for Richard, who is in a heartbreaking situation. I liked how he cleared the air with Sorcha about that night and where he stands, but it doesn't solve their problem. Matters become more complicated when they discover that Sorcha is pregnant. Now they must figure out how to coparent their baby while fighting their chemistry and growing feelings for each other.

I enjoyed watching Richard and Sorcha work through the obstacles that kept them apart. It isn't easy, and each must face their own troubled pasts before they have a chance for a life together. Their support for each other eased their way, and I loved seeing them navigate their way through the obstacles. The ending was very well done and realistic.
