Family Practice

By Karen Hall

Blake Carson, MD, chose ER work because it limits regular patient contact. Stitch 'em up and send them on their way. After a drunken fellow doctor's treatment killed a patient Blake had cautiously befriended and Blake caught his fianc e cheating, he buried himself in the safety of a lab. Hard to get emotionally involved with test tubes. But then a research firm offers him a lucrative contract that requires he work at a primary care clinic in rural East Tennessee for three months, putting him right in the middle of daily patient care. Blake agrees, but the last thing he expected was not only to find a gorgeous blonde co-worker and her precocious baseball loving son, but the threat to open his long-buried heart.

Divorced mom Gail Hunnicutt, MD, successfully runs her family care clinic while raising Jonas, her 9-year-old genius son. Despite Jonas' matchmaking attempts, she steers clear of dating, thanks to her ex-husband's serial cheating. Now Cromwell Medical Practice could be absorbed by a major for profit hospital chain, threatening Gail's family-friendly approach. The arrival of temporary doctor, Blake Carson, a 'know at all' Yankee, isn't helping. Sparks soon fly between them, especially in their different approach to patient-doctor relationships. But after Blake starts coaching Jonas' baseball team, a simmering attraction begins to grow, and he and Gail find their hearts being tested.

Will baseball, small town Southern life and Jonas' matchmaking be the perfect prescription for a happily-ever-after diagnosis for two wounded hearts, or will Blake and Gail go their separate ways?
