From Library Journal:

This tale of medical suspense features librarian Ellen and fitness

instructor Ben improbably involved in a romance. Predictably, their love

affair is threatened by disapproving family and friends, a serious

accident, and a scheme by Ellen's former lover, a transplant surgeon, to

procure a donor heart by killing a homeless man befriended by Ellen. The

supporting cast includes a wife-beating singer, a greedy talent agency

executive, and a rich Japanese businessman with irreversible heart disease.
