Lightning Strikes Part One

By Mary Lynn Baxter

36 Hours Serial

As a devastating summer storm hits Grand Springs, Colorado, the next thirty–six hours will change the town and its residents forever .

Lightning Strikes Part 1

At Vanderbilt Memorial's E.R., the power goes out, casualties flood in and hospital staff must fight for lives in the dark.

Doctors Noah Howell and Amanda Jennings, once lovers, are thrown together to save the lives of two teen car crash victims. Amanda thought she was over the sexy doctor and her anger at his betrayal. And Noah's hoping he can keep his calm–and his secret. As they work through the night, the emotions of both are as intense as the storm outside.

The story continues in Lightning Strikes Parts 2 and 3.
