Description: Some hands are steady enough to save a life. Learning to hold on to each other is the harder part.
Dr. Maya Ellison came to Cedar Vale to disappear. After the worst night of her career cost her everything but her medical license, all she wants is to work hard, keep her head down, and stop being the woman everyone leans on until there is nothing left. She did not plan on Dr. Elias Cole. Brilliant, exacting, and closed as a locked door, Elias lost his wife and his faith on the same terrible day. He has run his emergency room on grief and control ever since. He has no use for Maya's warmth, and even less for her hope. Then a brutal winter forces them to fight side by side for a department the hospital wants to shut down, and the walls each of them built begin to give. Maya can offer grace to everyone but herself. Elias can save everyone but the one person he couldn't. Then the case that broke Maya walks back through the doors, and this time running is not an option. The Steady Hand is the first book in the Cedar Vale series: emotionally rich, closed-door contemporary romance with real medical stakes and quiet, hard-won faith. It is for readers who love warm-hearted stories about broken people finding their way home. Happily ever after guaranteed.
