Photographer Rachel Prudhomme has finally settled in Ministry, Alabama. Sure, the pace is slower, and she’s had her heart blessed more times than she can count, but putting down her roots where her family is feels right, if only the town’s new doctor, and now neighbor, weren’t so hot and constantly igniting her dreams. How can she keep her vow to steer clear of men when he keeps sauntering across her path?

Excerpt
“Dr. Sullivan, thanks
for coming to town so quickly. We weren’t sure what to do when Dr. Dawson
announced he was taking the job in Birmingham. Left us in a real pickle—he
did.” Nick shook the hand of the chief of staff at Ministry General, who was
dressed in camouflage from head-to-toe. Did Nick really want to speculate if
there was a dead animal slung over the hood of his 4x4 out in the parking lot?
Nick steeled himself
against noticeably hesitating to shake the man’s hand, in case he’d not
scrubbed down after he left the woods. “Deer season?” Nick asked.
“He he. Son, we take
our time in the woods when we can get it around here. Just came off my stand at
the lease. They said you were coming today, so I didn’t want to miss you.” Nick
appreciated the effort. “Thanks for coming in.” “Suzette’s our department
manager; she’s around here someplace. She’ll show you the ropes. When are you
wanting to get started?” the older man asked.
“I’m here, so I might
as well start now, if you need me,” Nick answered. He was checked into a tiny
motel off the highway, and had nothing else to do until he found a larger place
to stay.
“Well, son, I like
your spirit.” Dr. Granger slapped Nick on the back and said, “Well, I’ll leave
you to it. Got to go home and shower. I’ll be back when your shift ends. Just
remember, we move at a slower pace here than in the big city. You’ll have to
remember to be tolerant with our staff and our patients at first. I’ve seen it
before, folks coming from bigger places. There’s a learning curve—not
necessarily one that goes upwards, if you know what I mean.” The old doc gave
Nick a wink and a nod then moved away, and left him staring, eyes glazed.
Nick hoped his
expression didn’t display the abject horror Dr. Granger’s words had just
instilled within him. Nick took a breath. And then another. It was only for a
month and a half, at most. “Hey there. I’m Suzette.”
Nick turned to see
who’d spoken. The rather husky voice did not match the face. She was stunning.
“Hello. Nicholas Sullivan.” He stuck out his hand to shake.
