Spring Proposal in Swallowbrook

the long version

Dr Ruby Hollister longed to return to Swallowbrook village - she just never anticipated being homeless when she finally did! Which means she has to throw herself at the mercy of the broodingly handsome new colleague, Dr Hugo Lawrence ... and his spare flat. Free of all emotional responsibility, Hugo's determined to relish his freedom - the last thing he wants is a fragile, beautiful waif living on his doorstep! Only, the secret sadness in Ruby's eyes calls to him, and a bachelor lifestyle no longer seems appealing.
