It's Christmas at Trinity Medical Center, and intensive–care nurse Dana Whitney loves the festive season. She is determined that this will always be the most special time of the year – if only she could persuade her new boss to get into the Christmas swing!

For Dr Mitch Reynolds, Christmas brings painful memories, and this year is no different. But Dana's enthusiasm inspires him, and her warmth and passion rescue his Christmas spirit.

He realises he does not want to live his life alone and that somehow he must find the courage to love again and make Dana a permanent part of his life.
