    About this ebook

    This story takes place prior to the events in L.A. Metro.
    Kim Donovan and Jess McKenna have never met. They are both successful doctors, but each longs to find that one person to share her life with. In a jaded world filled with cynicism, do dreams really still come true? Maybe all it takes is a wish upon a star...

      Charming short-story prelude to LA Metro, a five-star novel in which two great leading characters with depth and genuine values hope to overcome their individual painful pasts to find an enduring relationship. Then they realize they are increasingly enthralled by the other, both beautiful, brilliant women who may just be each other’s “the one.’’ Blessedly lacking cliches, peppered w realistic, nasty hospital intrigue, The Wish sets up LA Metro, a delightful, sometimes passionate, read.

    Foreword

    I wanted to give readers a glimpse into the lives of Kim Donovan and Jess McKenna before they met in L.A. Metro. I chose to set this vignette on New Year’s Eve as it is a time of new beginnings.

    Dedication

    To everyone who is still looking for their soul mate. Never give up. You never know when or where that special someone will come into your life.
