Unlocking the Surgeon's Heart

Making Dr. Serious Smile

Vivacious nurse Christy Michaels can easily appreciate a man as handsome as surgeon Linc Maguire. But his gruelling work ethic doesn't impress her!

Now Christy's suddenly sharing not only the E.R. with Dr. Serious but parental responsibilities for her best friend's children, Linc's niece and nephew. Can Christy's joie de vivre get the cool, collected doc to cut loose?

When an assignment in Paris sends their parents overseas for two months, eight-year-old Derek and six-year-old Emma need full-time care. Christy moves into the family home with her energetic Labrador, Ria, only to discover Dr. Serious has unpacked his bags under the very same roof! Between bedtime stories and emergency calls, she even ropes the workaholic doctor into the hospital's harvest festival dance contest.

Linc counters by insisting she take the floor as his partner, trading surgical scrubs for private ballroom lessons.
