Dr. Kate Latimer, head of pediatrics at East Shore Hospital, gave up on dreams of love and family after a disastrous failed relationship. She concentrates instead on career, coming back to her hometown hospital, becoming the head of the pediatrics department, and now nominated to run for chief of staff. Then she violates a physician's number one tenet- do not become emotionally involved with your patients. Something about the two young abuse victims wheeled into the ER tugs at her heart strings. Pushed by odd rescue dreams, she finds a way to foster care them, further entangling her heart. Michael Harrington, newly appointed president of East Shore Hospital wonders if he over-estimated his ability to turn around this financially troubled institution. But the professional move to this new job took him out of Philadelphia and away from his ex-fiancee, the Ice Princess of Philly. A clean start. Focus on the job. No women. No romance. Been there- done that, not well. Then misconceptions, angry words, and a low sugar episode lead to Dr. Latimer's collapse in his arms. And everything changes. A tentative connection begins to grow, though professional concerns, a sinister turn to the chief of staff election, security lapses and lab protocol violations have Michael working to save the reputation of the hospital. Parental concerns, familial issues, and increased professional demands challenge the good doctor. Yet, the chemistry between Kate and Michael continues to intensify. Can Kate find the courage to heal four broken hearts, including her own? Kate's Courage is the first of a quartet, each following a sibling of the Latimer family with the genetic predisposition and emotional need to save people, particularly children. They are aided, or egged on, in their heroic endeavors by an ancestral sea captain spirit, Captain Adrian Latimer.
