The Doctor's Devotion

Former Air Force trauma surgeon Mitch Wellington left behind a trail of broken dreams and built a trauma center in Eagle Point, Illinois after losing his father because a hospital was not close when he needed it. Lauren Bates is excited to be visiting her grampa for the summer. Sparks fly when these two meet and Grampa Lem couldn't be happier. He has at least two good reasons, he wants Lauren back in his life and he wants her taken care of when he is gone. Mitch has been like a son to him while Lauren has been away, which creates much jealousy between the two young people. Lem helps them both learn many life lessons while they help him fix up his farm and vehicles. Because his father and grandfather died in their seventieth year, Lem is afraid of turning seventy. Mitch and Lauren both lost their parents in traumatic ways and grow close as a result of getting to know one another through Lem's stories. This is a wonderful,well-written book packed with romance and intrigue galore. I enjoyed it very much and recommend it highly!
