Practicing Partners

Healing hearts takes more than medicine. Bran Jackson, a gifted trauma surgeon, finds himself at a crossroads after his fast-paced lifestyle in Seattle lands him in hot water. Suspended from the hospital, he retreats to his hometown of Maiden's Bay, hoping to take over his grandfather's medical practice and salvage his career. The quiet coastal town seems like the perfect place to start anew-until he meets his competition. Aubrie Turnbridge, a pediatric oncologist, wants to put the shadows of her past in Dallas behind her. Moving to Maiden's Bay offers a fresh start and the chance to work at a small-town doctor's office. She's ready for the change, but not for the infuriatingly charming doctor she's up against. Bran's arrogance grates on her, and his motivations are as questionable as his roguish grin is disarming. As Bran and Aubrie vie for the coveted position, the clinic becomes a battleground for their ambitions and a surprising catalyst for their hearts. With every patient they treat together, their rivalry softens into mutual respect, and then something more. Practicing Partners is a heartwarming tale of rivalry, redemption, and romance set against the charming backdrop of Maiden's Bay. Bran and Aubrie must navigate their own wounds and the healing power of love to find a cure for their lonely hearts.
