About this ebook

What happens when a seasonal fling turns into the love of a lifetime?
Lizzie Howard's life has always been adrenaline-charged. Top of her class at Harvard Med and now a gifted trauma doctor, Lizzie's medical career has always come before rest, relaxation, and especially romance. But when one careless mistake brings her future to a screeching halt, Lizzie's only chance at reviving it is to temporarily take over a friend's practice in Jewell Cove. The sleepy Maine coast, a world away from the bustling emergency room Lizzie knows and loves, leaves her feeling more lost than ever-until she meets widowed doctor Joshua Collins, and her heart starts beating a little bit faster...
"Brimming with old family history, small-town secrets, and newfound passion, you'll want to pack up and move to Jewell Cove, Maine!" -Lily Everett
Coming home to Jewell Cove was Josh's salvation after his wife died. Looking for peace among the familiar faces of friends and family, he's grateful to work in the town's small medical clinic by day and spend his nights trying to forget everything he's lost. Lizzie's big-city sensibilities are a brash reminder of the world he's pushed away, but he can't deny that together they've sparked a flame that crackles higher and brighter every day. Maybe love is the best medicine after all ...
"Wonderful romance, packed with family drama, a sexy hero, an incredible old house. You'll fall in love from the very first page."-Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author on The House on Blackberry Hill

Ratings and reviews

Loved it!! Wonderful sexy romance set in a quaint little coastal town. Superb writing as usual from this author. This one will make for a wonderful beach read! Big city doctor, Lizzie Howard, needs a break from her rapidly imploding life. On a forced sabbatical from her ER job, Lizzie has agreed to cover for her friend at a small town clinic while her friend is off on maternity leave. The clinic is owned and operated by Josh Collins who is perfectly happy in his small town, living a very quiet life. After the death of his wife, quiet is exactly what he wants and needs. While Lizzie is expecting Josh to be older and settled, she quickly learns he is anything but that! Sparks start to fly almost immediately but nothing can ever happen. Right?? This is one you definitely want on your must read list. I highly recommend it!
