Summary

Emma Lewis has a lot on her plate. The single mother of two precocious twin boys, the last thing Emma needs is a man in her life, especially a doctor. So when the town's doctor goes on vacation and his handsome nephew takes over, Emma is shocked to not only find him standing in her bedroom, but accusing her of being a neglectful parent.

Clint Preston came to Westen for the year to fill in as the town doc while his uncle took a long-needed vacation. Clint also needed a sense of peace and calm to try to find his passion for medicine burned out by long shifts in an urban hospital's ER. Angered to find two boys in his clinic with broken wrists and no accompanying parent, he is determined to confront their mother. The feisty redhead he meets quickly dispels his belief that she's a neglectful mother, but he can see her situation is more critical than she wishes to face and finds himself volunteering to help care for her sons and the remodeling of her home.

As Emma and Clint forge a relationship, a menace from Emma's past threatens her and her sons. Clint and Emma join forces to prevent the loss of either boy and the love they've discovered in each other's arms.

Contains mature themes.

A romance with little story

The main protagonist is a single mum who is busy trying to look after her twin sons and cope with a mother who is in the early stages of dementia. Into town comes a bold, brisk doctor who has burn out issues. Romance blossoms.
The plot takes a few very contrived twist involving the ex-husband and private detective.

Last one

I often like this author’s books. She tells a great story. Unfortunately, her heroes are too rude and overbearing for me, so I won’t listen to more as I can’t tell which (few) books have heroes I like.
