Close To Home (Westen Series)

Emma Lewis has a lot on her plate. The single mother of two precocious twin boys and an aging mother who is having trouble getting through each day, the last thing Emma needs is a man in her life, especially a doctor. So when the town’s doctor goes on vacation and his handsome nephew takes over, Emma is shocked to not only find him standing in her bedroom, but accusing her of being a neglectful parent. Clint Preston came to Weston for the year to fill in as the town doc while his uncle took a long needed vacation. He also needed a sense of peace and calm to try to find his passion for medicine burned out by long shifts in an urban hospital’s ER. Angered to find two boys in his clinic with broken wrists and no accompanying parent, he is determined to confront their mother, ignoring his nurse’s cryptic words that things aren’t always what they appear. The feisty redhead he meets quickly dispels his belief that she’s a neglectful mother, but he can see her situation is direr than she wishes to face and finds himself volunteering to help care for her sons and the remodeling of her home. As Emma and Clint begin to forge a relationship among the slightly off-beat characters that inhabit Weston a menace from Emma’s past threatens her and her sons. Clint and Emma join forces to prevent the loss of either boy and the love they’ve discovered in each other’s’ arms.
