As Briman Island's only doctor, Dr. Christie Flemming works day and night to care for the isolated islanders. She knows that getting married would mean abandoning them...but one stormy night Christie saves a stranger's life--and her life changes forever...

The stranger is Dr. Hugo Tallent! A specialist from Brisbane, he offers Christie the help she badly needs. Hugo loves the island, and it's not long before he loves Christie, too. But she won't leave--and there are reasons that he can't stay....
