His 16th Face

Beth Coldwell should not be in love with Christian Henderson. She's a teenager. He's a grown man. She wished she could care about convention, but she's an orphan dying of heart disease, so she'll be in love with him if she wants to be. After all, she only has a few days to live before a heart-stopping operation she might never wake up from. Besides, he is not in love with her. He feels desperately sorry for her... so sorry that he wants to stand like a fortress between her and death. He swears he can't do anything for her until he gets a taste of her love. Suddenly, he can do anything, inexplicably providing the operation she needs to live. He can do anything... except be in her life.
