They call her Dr. Texas. She’s Jane Dickinson, a newly graduated physician from California who’s working at the Promise clinic but just for a couple of years. Then she’ll head home. They call him Mr. Grouch. Cal Patterson was left at the altar by his out-of-state fiancée, and he’s not over it yet. Too bad Jane reminds him so much of the woman he’s trying to forget. Yes, there’s a mystery or two hidden beneath Promise’s everyday exterior, but what town doesn’t have its secrets? Originally published in 1998
