Patty Blount really pulled out every heart racing, heart stopping and heart filling moment anyone could ever want. His Touch was a touching and emotional read. They swept through him like a god damn tornado, leaving destruction in its wake. He sat there, cursing himself for letting his emotions escape their locks. He especially couldn't help anybody with a kid. Like calling the Mona Lisa a picture of some woman. Calling it a kiss seemed insulting somehow. If that was insane, Kara wouldn't trade a second of it.

Nadia was a bright, beautiful, perfect little girl who ruled her world with pudgy little hands and sticky kisses. Doesn’t he know being a single mom is a lot harder than it seems?! But when baby Nadia has trouble breathing one night, Kara’s frantic 911 call brings that same intense first responder right to her door… Now, he only has to convince her.When a strikingly handsome paramedic finds Kara Larsen‘s lost toddler, only to lecture her for failing to mind her child, Kara is embarrassed and relieved she’ll never have to deal with him again… no matter how good looking he is. He doesn't put much faith in signs but even he starts to believe Elena is his absolution. There's something about Elena that pulls him in. Lucas knows better than to make plans with a woman who will soon be leaving, yet can't help himself. He spends his days working in the Financial District and his evenings volunteering and it's almost enough to help him forget what he did. For her, it means only one thing - even beyond the grave, her mother can never forgive Elena for breaking her heart.For Lucas, New York is hallowed ground that he can never leave.


But those plans go awry when she meets Lucas Adair, a man whose own grief and guilt just might rival her own.When Elena discovers Lucas is the boy who gave her that crystal snowflake all those years ago, she can't accept it as the sign Lucas believes it to be. Agreeing to help her sister prepare for her baby's birth seems like a good way to spend Christmas and Elena vows not to let the monstrous guilt that weighs on her heart ruin everything. The boy pressed a crystal snowflake ornament into the girl's hand and disappeared into the crowd, unaware that his simple act of kindness saved her from the guilt that threatened to consume her.Since losing her mom, Elena Larsen hasn't set foot in New York City - until now. Thirteen years ago, two teens met on the ramp to Ground Zero, on a cold and snowy day, strangers bonding in a moment of grief.
