Paging Dr. Hale for a broken heart...

Big city GP Matt Hale is happy with everything in his new home of Strawberry Falls, except his single status.

When hometown girl Jory McLaren blows in on a storm, he’s smitten. But Jory isn’t home for romance. She isn’t home for longer than she has to be.

Baker extraordinaire Marjorie McLaren is back in town because Strawberry Falls is where everyone comes back to when they’ve hit rock bottom. She’s lost her bakery, boyfriend, and patience for men.

All that matters now is nursing her grandmother and getting out of the place she grew up. And, maybe, having a one-night stand with her Gram’s sexy new doctor. Just a fling, the sort of risk she’s never dreamed of daring.

When their night of passion takes an unexpected turn, Jory has to accept she’s on the line for a lot more than one summer.

Can Jory overcome her family’s sordid past to make a life with Matt? Can he heal her heart before old wounds steal their shot at a happily ever after?

Author's note: Hey, dear listener! Strawberry Falls sweet-heat romances are hot as the summer sun! They contain graphic depictions of a summer fruit festival. Come along for a smokin’ doctor, a sexy, trash-talking firefighter, one unapologetically sassy grandmother, and one count of unbridled workplace seduction.
