Olivia
Davenport has finally gotten her life back together. She's left her
painful past behind, started over in a new town, and become Harmony
Harbor's most sought-after event planner. But her past catches up to
her when Olivia learns that she's now guardian of her ex's young
daughter. With her world spinning, Olivia must reconcile her old life
with her new one. And she doesn't have time for her new next door
neighbor, no matter how handsome he is.
Olivia may
act like she's got everything under control, but Dr. Finn Gallagher
knows a person in over her head when he sees one. He'd really like to
be the shoulder she leans on, but Olivia makes it clear she doesn't
want his help. Since he's returned to town, his waiting room has been
full of single women feigning illness. Yet the one woman he's
interested in is avoiding him. But with a little help from some
matchmaking widows and a precocious little girl, Finn might just win
Olivia over.
BONUS:
Includes a complete novel from BookShots Flames, THE MCCULLAGH INN IN
MAINE by Jen McLaughlin!
EXCERPT
Dr.
Finn Gallagher found himself at the clinic on Primrose Lane,
wondering what the hell he’d gotten himself into.
In
the seven and half hours he’d been there, he’d seen forty-five
patients. Only five of whom actually had something physically wrong
with them. All five were female and under the age of sixteen. As far
as he could tell, not one of them was interested in marrying him.
The
other forty had nothing wrong with them. And, as far as he could
tell, were very interested in marrying him. If they weren’t, their
grandmothers and mothers were. Interested in him marrying their
daughters and granddaughters, that is.
At
the beginning of the day, it was kind of amusing, even a little
flattering. But by 10:45 it had gotten old and annoying. It didn’t
help that he kept thinking of the patients he saw while working with
Doctors Without Borders. Those people needed him, desperately. They
weren’t fake coughing or complaining about phantom chest pains.
They were sick and hungry, wounded and scared. They weren’t spoiled
and whiny and ungrateful.
He
winced at his unflattering characterizations and intolerance. While
there was some truth to his observations, the throbbing ache in his
leg injury was making him grumpy. Knowing his father had been right
and Finn wasn’t ready to go back to the Congo wasn’t doing much
to improve his mood.
Sherry,
Doc Bishop’s nurse and a woman Finn had dated in high school,
opened the door to the closet-sized office. “Pain hasn’t let up,
has it?” she asked with a compassionate smile.
“I’m
good. Just had to return a couple of phone calls.” He set down the
cold cup of coffee he hadn’t had a chance to drink, removed the ice
pack from his knee, and surreptitiously hid it behind the
welcome-to-the-clinic plant from the staff, which Finn now mentally
referred to as the matchmaking clinic from hell. He pushed to his
feet with a closed-mouth smile that hopefully hid his clenched his
teeth from Sherry’s observant gaze.
“Really?
I rescheduled Molly, Sally, and Karen’s physicals to tomorrow, but
if you’re okay to see—”
“No,
tomorrow’s good. On second thought, why don’t you schedule them
with Doc Bishop? They’ve been going to him for twenty years. I’m
sure they’d be more comfortable—”
“They
would be or you would?” she said with a laugh, and then proceeded
to share way too much information about all three women before
adding, “Dr. Bishop won’t be in tomorrow. Mrs. Fitzgerald invited
him to make up a foursome, remember?”
Finn
rubbed his jaw. “I’m not sure that’s something you should
share—”
She
made a ha-snort sound and then cuffed him on the shoulder. “Not
that kind of foursome, silly. They’re playing golf.” She
ha-snorted again. “It’s no wonder that’s where your mind went
after the offers you’ve had today. Kerry will get a good laugh over
that one.”
If
Sherry had her master’s in gossip, Kerry, the receptionist, had her
PhD. Finn figured he’d provided them with enough to talk about for
a month at least. He lifted his chin in the direction of the
examination rooms. There were five. “Who’s next?”
“I
cleared out the waiting room of all but legit complaints, so you only
have four. Patient number one won’t take long. She just needs her
script renewed.” She handed him a file.
He
looked at the name and handed it back. “Might be better if Doc
Bishop sees Ms. Templeton.”
“He
left early. Mrs. DiRossi invited him for dinner, and I think he
wanted to get spiffed up.” Sherry frowned and looked from Finn to
examination room number one. “Is there a reason you don’t want to
see Dana?”
