Practicing medicine in a small town like Cypress Hollow has always been Naomi Fontaine's dream, but she's had a hard time becoming part of this tight-knit community that her late friend, knitting guru Eliza Carpenter, loved so well. Naomi just doesn't seem to fit in, no matter how hard she tries. But when rugged Rig Keller moves to town to take over half of Naomi's medical practice, he instantly charms everyone in Cypress Hollow--including Naomi.

Witnessing the painful aftermath of his brother's broken relationship, Rig isn't interested in getting serious. But that doesn't mean he can resist playing doctor with his new partner. Swept up in a passion neither expected, the two are soon faced with difficult choices. While keeping secrets is dangerous, revealing hidden truths can lead to heartache. Now, Rig must decide whether to risk his heart, and Naomi whether to open hers completely, if they want to have a chance of being together.
