Dr. Dan Ryan, connected to the practice her father founded, offers steady support and becomes more than a familiar face. As grief and memories reopen old wounds, Alice finds herself drawn to something deeper than friendship. To be with Dan could mean staying in Mallory Cross forever, forcing a painful choice between escape and love.","Beside the kettle was a packet of tea bags and a jar of coffee, along with a packet of chocolate biscuits.  \nWhen Alice got to her feet and walked to the fridge, it was on and contained a pint of milk. Dan must have popped in and left them on his way to the station.  \nShe filled the kettle, switching it on, and murmured a thank-you to him. Dad had been right to trust him—he was a thoughtful and kind friend.  \nWho was she trying to kid? There was something about Dan’s relaxed smile that told her he was the kind of man who’d take his time with a woman. Something about the controlled grace of his movements that suggested that once he had, there would be something more…Something that might take her breath away.  \nSeven months ago, Alice would have been open to finding out what lay beneath that lazy charm of his. But now? It was just too bad that she wasn’t in the market for a nice guy with a touch of the rogue in his smile.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nDear Reader,  \nSometimes we love the place we grew up in, and sometimes feelings are mixed. But I’ve never met anyone who is entirely indifferent to where they come from.  \nIt’s been many years since Dr. Alice Allenby has returned to the village where she was born and brought up, but the death of her father brings her back. She’s determined to leave again as soon as she can, but then she meets Dr. Dan Ryan. He might just be the person to help her work through her grief, and rebuild her shattered career, but there’s a catch. Alice finds herself wanting more than just a friendship with Dan, but being with him means that she must stay in the village she’s vowed to leave behind forever.  \nThank you for reading Alice and Dan’s story. I hope that you feel as welcome in the village as I did!  \nAnnie x  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nA Mother for the GP’s Son  \nAnnie Claydon  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nNOTE TO READERS  \nThis ebook contains the following accessibility features which, if supported by your device, can be accessed via your ereader/accessibility settings:  \n Change of font size and line height  \n Change of background and font colors  \n Change of font  \n Change justification  \n Text to speech  \n Page numbers taken from the following print edition: ISBN 9781335993816  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCursed with a poor sense of direction and a propensity to read, Annie Claydon spent much of her childhood lost in books.
