This new edition brings together five leading authorities in nail surgery in this well established and definitive textbook. The entire text is extended in this edition, and particular emphasis is placed on the advances in treatments that have taken place in recent years. Considerable strides have been made in the treatment of fungal diseases (onychomycoses) with the appearance of new therapeutic agents. There is also much greater coverage of nail surgery to reflect the increasing involvement of the dermatologist in this field. The section on nail tumours has also been expanded. Drs Baran and Dawber have been joined by David de Berker, Eckhart Haneke and Antonella Tosti on the editorial team. This move is representative of the major European contribution to the field of nail surgery in recent years. Significant contribution has come from Dr Elvin Zook, the eminent American hand surgeon, who has helped to ensure that the book is as relevant in North America as it is in Europe.

Alyssa Martin has loved Ryan Sutherby since they were children. Raised in Cypress Bayou, Louisiana by abusive, alcoholic parents, Ryan had always been there. As teenagers on the banks of the Red River, they pledged themselves to each other with a kiss borne of true love. Ryan, a star quarterback, receives a scholarship. Furious when Alyssa ends their relationship, they don't speak till the following summer. In an enchanted riverside clearing where only the truest of love casts a spell, magic transpires their first time together. But devastation strikes and Ryan blames her, so Alyssa does what she does best. She runs away, away from the pain, and away from the guilt. Until ten years later… She'd recognize that scar on Ryan's hand half-blind. He'd carved a heart in the tree, accidentally slicing it open that wondrous night. But their love cannot be denied, and together they heal.
