USA TODAY® Bestselling author Maggie McGinnis welcomes us back to Echo Lake, Vermont for a sweet, sensual happily-ever-after full of small-town charm ... and a super-hot pediatrician.
After Delaney Blair dropped out of med school, she still wanted to find a way to make a difference for patients ... just without a stethoscope. She now sits in the executive suite at Echo Lake's Mercy Hospital, working 60-hour weeks in an attempt to balance budgets and keep funding flowing to departments that need it most. When a budget crisis forces her to go toe-to-toe with the beloved, dedicated, and unfairly hot Dr. Joshua Mackenzie, interim head of pediatrics, she's suddenly way over her head.
Josh is far too busy on the pediatric floor to take a meeting with some lunatic from the finance office who undoubtedly wants him to find more ways to get blood from the proverbial stone, so he avoids her ... until one day she shows up in his office, all sexy sweetness and bluster, and refuses to be ignored. She's full of ideas that'll never work, but he knows the only way for her to see that is for her to move her office to Pediatrics for two weeks. Then they can talk about cuts, because he knows it won't take nearly that long for her to realize there none to be made.
It's only two weeks of long, long hours working at odds in small, small spaces. Surely they can last that long without getting distracted ...
