Temporary Arrangement

Much more than she bargained for...

All Abby Cahill wanted was a quiet summer job in the beautiful Wisconsin woods. But the hospital where she's filling in turns out to be overcrowded, understaffed and decidedly stretched for cash. And as if she didn't have enough on her hands, the only vacancy in town for "single woman with mutt" is at the farmhouse of wildlife biologist Ethan Matthews, whose son is with him for the season, along with several newborn puppies.

Ethan is a handsome, solitary man who seems to need Abby as much as she needs... Problem is, she'll never find out what she needs. At the end of August she's got to go back to her job in the city teaching nursing.

And leave this temporary arrangement, which is starting to feel too darn comfortable. For all three of them.

Pregnancy is the last thing on her mind

After all, isn't that one of the reasons Grant walked out on her last fall? He couldn't wait for her practice to settle down to have kids. Not to mention, her husband couldn't seem to commit to one woman. It seems next to impossible that one night of stupidity could lead to her becoming pregnant. She still can't forgive him, but Jill has to tell Grant he's going to be a father.

As if Grant's return wasn't hard enough, the man has provoked someone else, someone who won't stop the phone calls, the threats.

As much as she hates it, Dr. Jill Edwards's life may depend on her estranged husband.

Dr. Connor Reynolds had better stay out of her way

As the new administrator at Blackberry Hill Memorial, Erin has more pressing issues to deal with than her late cousin's notorious husband. Such as how to keep the hospital solvent. How to make her adopted children feel safe and loved after her husband walked out on them. And why patients keep dying for no apparent reason.

If only she didn't need Connor's help. And if only he wasn't so good to her and the kids.

Desperate times call for desperate measures

That's why the dying town of Homestead, Texas, established the Home Free program, offering land grants in exchange for the much-needed professional services modern homesteaders bring with them.

Kristin Cantrell had leaped at the chance to return to her childhood home, accepting subsidised land for herself and her son in exchange for the service she could offer as a physician's assistant. She didn't expect her reputation to be tarnished by a crime her deceased father had supposedly committed. She also didn't expect to see Ryan Gallagher again, even though his father, the senator, practically owned the Hill Country.

Now she has to prove not only her father's innocence but also her own.
