Nightwatch
A vicious storm. Trees and power lines are down. A sick, pregnant young woman walks into E.R. - alone and about to give birth. Dr. Rachel Browne saves the baby. The mother isn't so lucky....
E.R. chief Dr. Guy Giroux is shocked. His ex-wife's eighteen-year-old daughter has died during childbirth - in his E.R. He didn't even know she was pregnant. Guy confronts Dr. Rachel Browne, demanding answers. Rachel could be stubborn, obstinate and downright hardheaded - but faced with Guy's grief and anger she's disarmingly calm, compassionate...even tender. And as Guy and Rachel hunt down the truth, Guy realizes how much he wants to keep the baby...and how much he wants Rachel, too.

In 1987 she became head of development for the McCarran Film Corp., overseeing a roster of twelve feature films.

Jo Leigh's first Silhouette novel, SUSPECT, was awarded BEST FIRST SERIES BOOK by Romantic Times Magazine, garnered the 1994 ROMANCE WRITER OF THE YEAR award from Pike’s Peak RWA, and was a finalist for BEST ROMANTIC SUSPENSE NOVEL OF 1994 by Romance Writers of America.

Jo teaches writing at workshops across the country and on-line, and is a frequent guest speaker at writing conferences. Her tape on Advanced Plotting from the Dallas Romance Writers of America conference is the best selling tape in RWA’s history.
Jo lives in an incredibly rural area of Utah where her many rescue dogs have room to run and play and her rescue cats are determined to win the International Shedding Award. She spends an inordinate amount of time reading about how the brain works, listening to music and trying not to kill the basil.
Jo's husband died of cancer on 13 June 2008, three years after they married, and whose medical bills are astronomical. Authors, editors, and bloggers have all donated a mess of items, from books to critiques to mentoring sessions to offer an item for the auction to benefit author Jo Leigh.

It's a busy night in the E.R. and Dr. Rachel Browne is up to her neck in patients. When a young pregnant woman arrives already in labor, Rachel delivers the baby, but the mother dies. The next morning, E.R. Chief Guy Giroux is shocked to find out his ex-wife's daughter died in his hospital. He didn't even know she was pregnant. Battling his grief, Guy confronts Rachel about what happened. She shows him compassion and tenderness, and decides to help Guy find out how his step-daughter ended up in this situation.
This story started out with lots of drama in a busy emergency room; but it soon turned into a story about a doctor who is attracted to her boss and the story started to drag. Solving the mystery of the dead step-daughter didn't really work well in this book. Most of the revelations were not made by the hero or heroine, but by a third party who was helping them out. The story had a unique premise, but it just didn't keep my interest until the end. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
