The girl he once resisted is now the woman he can’t stay away from.

I love running my beloved Haven Guesthouse. It’s my sanctuary against loss and heartache, and I’m proud of the business I’ve built from the ground up. So how can I say no when my best friend asks me to host the new doctor in town?

What I don’t expect is to open the door and come face-to-face with Dr. Dean Connelly—the object of my hopeless crush, the man who once stole my heart.

Seeing him again stirs feelings I thought I’d buried long ago. Back then I was young and naïve. Now I know better. I should keep my distance. Protect my heart.

But Dean still makes my pulse race—and resisting him is harder than ever.

Starting fresh at Haven Valley Hospital was supposed to be simple. New job. Small town. No distractions. Until I knock on the door of the guesthouse and find Grace Taylor standing there.

I stayed away from her before because she deserved time to grow, to live, to become the woman she was meant to be. Now she’s all grown up and temptation has never been stronger.

Living under the same roof means stolen glances, lingering touches, and memories that refuse to stay in the past. Every moment with her makes me want more—more time, more closeness, more of the future we never had.

In a town where everyone knows your business, giving in to temptation could cost us everything. But walking away from Grace might cost me even more.

New Doctor in Town is a steamy small-town medical instalove romance featuring second chances, forced proximity, a 13-year age gap, and a swoon-worthy doctor hero who falls hard when the girl he once resisted becomes the woman he can’t resist.

Welcome to Haven Valley—where the men are irresistible, the women are strong, and love always finds a way.
