Books like The promise by Robyn Carr
Scott Grant runs the only medical office in the tight‑knit community of Thunder Point, Oregon. Widowed and a father of two, he has built a thriving family practice and a supportive local network. When a striking physician’s assistant, Peyton Lacoumette, arrives to apply for a position, she is wary of romance after past heartbreak. Scott offers her a short‑term contract at a reduced salary, and she accepts, hoping to stay in town for three months before making a decision. Both agree their arrangement is temporary and not a prelude to commitment. Yet, as they navigate patient care and the realities of small‑town life, unexpected feelings begin to surface, hinting that a brief visit could turn into a promise of forever.
