Summer on Lovers’ Island by Donna Alward

A summer in Jewell Cove leads ER doctor Lizzie Howard to discover there’s more to life than living up to expectations in this small town romance by New York Times Bestselling Author, Donna Alward. When Lizzie Howard’s best friend asks if she will cover her maternity leave in a small-town medical practice, Lizzie almost refuses. But with her career as a top ER doc in jeopardy and a failed relationship in her rear-view mirror, maybe a change of pace is exactly what she needs. It doesn’t matter how hot her boss is—Lizzie vows she’ll never date a co-worker again. Josh Collins returned to Jewell Cove after his wife was killed on deployment. Now he runs the town’s medical clinic and puts up with his family’s meddling in his love life. The sexy new doctor is a complication, but she has no plans to stick around. That’s fine. If Josh falls in love again, he’ll do it at his own pace and on his own terms. Then a trip to Lovers’ Island on a summer afternoon changes their relationship from summer fling to something deeper. But Josh doesn’t trust Lizzie to stay, and Lizzie can’t let go of her dream to return to her life-in-progress. When an opportunity arrives in the form of her old boss and lover, will she take it and leave Jewell Cove—and Josh—behind?
