When she develops a heart condition, the people she usually goes to for assistance with her writing are the ones now helping ensure her survival—including the hunky cardiologist Brian Chase. Brian knows better than to get involved with a patient. Dedicated and hard-working, his primary focus is getting Jane healthy…but that doesn’t stop him from noticing how beautiful she is or from flirting with her while he oversees her recovery. It’s only a matter of time before their professional relationship ends, and when it does, pursuing her is very much on the table. But just as things heat up, their new personal relationship is in peril from multiple fronts. Disgruntled exes and meddling families keep reminding them they are from two very different worlds with different sets of expectations and realities. Will Jane be left trying to heal a broken heart while writing a story with no happy ending, or can a small-town author who has been burned before find love with the wealthy doctor of her dreams? less
