Twenty-seven-year-old
ICU nurse Natalie Ulster has a desire to see the world, in case she dies
young like her mother, and a need to heal, which is compensation for
her own damaged heart. Armed with an independence and self-reliance that
stems from her father s emotional abandonment and wanting to separate
herself from a deranged nurse whose husband just died under suspicious
circumstances on Natalie s watch Natalie grabs life by the globe and
accepts successive assignments in Belize, Australia, and Arizona. When
Natalie meets Dr. Joel Lansfield, a physician who is also familiar with
grief, she finds that Joel sees her for the strong woman she is, and
loves her for all she has yet to figure out but she s not sure she s
ready to make room in her heart for love. Desperate to maintain her
emotional distance with Joel, she continues to travel. In each country,
however, she finds herself confronted with near-death accidents, from a
poisoned drink to a severe food allergy to being thrown overboard in the
Great Barrier Reef. Too many coincidences force her to ask herself a
frightening question: Is someone trying to kill her?”
