A Doctor's Christmas Family

A cyclone-ravaged hospital, a deadly tropical epidemic—and the ex-husband she never stopped loving.

Dr. Esther Shaw, called home to Australia to battle a serious medical emergency, meets the last person she expects: Dr. Bill Jackson — her ex-husband! What is he doing here?

Brought in to track a vicious dengue outbreak in cyclone-wrecked Jamestown, Esther discovers Bill running the battered regional hospital. Amid flooded streets and power outages, the two doctors race to turn the intensive care unit into an isolation ward. Could working side by side in a medical crisis reopen the door to their past?

Bill was looking for Esther. But now he’s managing a potentially deadly epidemic, taking care of an adorable baby — and trying to understand his beautiful, loving ex-wife and her painfully guarded heart.

Living under the same roof with nine-month-old Chloe stirs painful memories of the child they lost. Would confronting their shared heartbreak in the shadow of disaster bring them together?

Can Bill persuade Esther to fall in love with him again?
