Tempting the Single Dad by Summer Rose

I wasn’t supposed to fall for a patient’s father on day one.

My three-month escape to Whitetail Falls was meant to be simple: heal from Boston burnout while covering the local pediatric clinic. No complications. No entanglements. Just crisp autumn air and small-town quiet.

Then a little girl tumbles from a pumpkin display, and her father rushes to her side. All broad shoulders, worried eyes, and a gentleness that makes my pulse race inappropriately. David, single dad, pumpkin farmer, and twelve years my senior, looks at me like I’m more than just the temporary doctor passing through.

I came here to remember why I became a doctor, not to lose my heart to a man with autumn in his eyes and roots that run deeper than my temporary contract. But David’s kiss tastes like forbidden cider, sweet and intoxicating, making me crave things I shouldn’t want: permanence, family, him.

What happens when three months isn’t nearly enough time to say goodbye?
