Rediscover this heartwarming small-town romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.
When Valerie’s father suffers a heart attack, she rushes from her top executive office in the big city to Oregon to be by his side with her two younger sisters. But after meeting his heart surgeon, Colby Winston, she is overwhelmed by her feelings of attraction toward him. She’s a take-charge businesswoman; he’s a renowned surgeon who loves traditional small-town living—and this is no time to fall in love with her complete opposite.
But her father’s matchmaking efforts have Valerie and Colby questioning the possibility of opening their hearts for a different future, one they can build together.
Previously published as Valerie in 1992.
