Hope Sanders is a no-nonsense girl who believes her straight-shooting ways will keep her single for the rest of her life. She has a fast-paced job, working for the only doctor in Nowhere, Texas. When her doctor’s nephew comes to apprentice with her, she is immediately frustrated, because they see things so very differently. Stephen Bennett has a great deal of compassion for others. He doesn’t like the way his aunt’s assistant talks frankly with the patients about money, but he finds himself more and more drawn to her anyway. When their bickering causes his aunt to tell them they have to figure out a way to work together or one of them will be gone, their relationship changes. Will Stephen be able to convince Hope they’re meant to be together? Or will they each spend their lives alone?
