The Pharmacy Doctor

By G.M. Hugs

Sarah is just trying to get by when she lands a job at a local pharmacy. She dreads working with Victor, the aloof and handsome resident doctor who runs the clinic. His cold demeanor puts her on edge. But when an illness forces Sarah to see Victor professionally, she catches a glimpse of the compassion beneath his icy exterior.

 

Late nights and shared confidences allow Sarah to connect with the real Victor, a man shaped by his troubled past. As he begins to open his heart to her, they forge an undeniable bond. But just when things seem to be falling into place, Victor's ex-fiancé Veronica shows up demanding a second chance.

 

With new hurdles threatening the fragile trust between them, Sarah and Victor must decide if what they've found together is strong enough to overcome the ghosts of former heartbreaks. When Victor gets down on one knee, Sarah is ready to leave the past behind and embrace a future with the man who truly sees her. But the road to "I do" is rarely smooth, and they still have challenges to overcome.

 

Can Sarah help Victor heal old wounds so he can love freely at last? Will the promise of a life together be enough to conquer their fears? Find out in this moving contemporary romance about breaking down walls, overcoming yesterday's hurt, and learning to love without reservations.
