In the second instalment of Louisa Heaton’s Cotswold Docs duet, two new doctor colleagues and next-door neighbours can’t deny the chemistry between them, or the idea that their families’ two halves could make a whole.

Is love closer than she thinks?

GP Bella Nightingale needs a fresh start for herself and her little boy in the wake of a cheating ex. On her first day at Clearbrook Medical Practice, she discovers that her gorgeous colleague Dr Max Moore is also a single parent — and her new neighbour! No stranger to loss, Max is as afraid of being hurt again as Bella, but the attraction between them is undeniable…should they play it safe and avoid heartache, or could two and two make a perfect family of four?
