Sue and Sally Smith, Flying Nurses #52

When a freak accident knocks out both the captain and co-pilot, Sue Smith—a nurse traveling aboard a passenger flight—finds herself the only person with medical training who can respond to seventy-four lives hanging in the balance. As injuries mount and the situation grows dire, Sue must draw on every ounce of skill and composure to keep survivors stable until help arrives, all while confronting her own limits and the harsh realities of what she can accomplish without a hospital's resources. Her determination to save lives stands in sharp contrast to the selfish priorities of someone she'd trusted, forcing her to reckon with who truly deserves to call themselves a healer.

A nurse caring for a patient at an emergency call finds herself drawn to Dr. Gregory Walls, the doctor she works alongside—but professional boundaries and a painful overheard remark keep her feelings locked away. When Dr. Walls falls seriously ill during a house call, the mask of formality finally breaks, and what was hidden beneath the surface has a chance to emerge.

Nurse Sally Smith commandeers a helicopter to reach Jawhal Kul, a wounded leader whose fate holds the future of his strife-torn nation, stranded on a mountain ledge 3,000 feet up and bleeding fast. With communist troops closing in and every moment counting, Sally must stabilize him and get him to safety before both patient and rescuer are lost to the treacherous pass. It's a desperate race against time, blood loss, and the very geography that isolates a man his people desperately need alive.
