The Doctor's Longed-for Bride

It was only when Dr. Francesca Lovatt announced her engagement that Jack Herrick realized he’d always loved her.

Unable to bear seeing her marry the wrong man, Jack took his small daughter and left town. He had fled his post at St Mary’s Hospital to put distance between his secret longing and her upcoming wedding.

Now Jack is ready to return, and takes a job as registrar at Denniston Vale Infirmary—only to find that Francesca is still single! Stepping onto the bustling casualty floor places him straight back at her side—with every late-night shift sparking undeniable attraction between them!

Teaming up for Abby’s school sports day quickly shatters their professional guard, leaving Jack breathless from holding Francesca close! Little Abby is thrilled to have her favourite doctor around again, and the four-year-old happily pulls Francesca into their everyday lives.

Jack is determined that this time he won’t let the woman of his dreams slip through his fingers.
