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.

Jen McLaughlin!
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?”
