The life of a country doctor with a teenage daughter was certainly a full one. But widower Beau Dugan never realized what he'd been missing until Clary Parsons came back to Wellsburg. She was prettier, livelier and more intriguing than he remembered, but she was not home to stay. Perhaps he might change her mind...
When Clary took in all the familiar sights of the old 'burg,' everything seemed about the same, give or take a decade. Everything except Beau Dugan -- he was simply breathtaking! Still, she had a new, exciting L.A. life-style. So why did the fast lane suddenly pale in comparison to her sleepy hometown?
Victoria Pade is the bestselling author of numerous contemporary romances, six historical romances and two mystery novels. She began her writing career after leaving college to have her first daughter. That daughter was seven years old and there was a second daughter, before Victoria had her first book accepted for publication. That novel and the three that followed it were historical romances. But the exit of her husband and the urge to do more contemporary writing that explored the kinds of problems she was facing inspired a switch.
