The Nurse Next Door - Healing Hearts One Small Act at a Time

Emily Hartwell

Beschreibung

After years in a hectic city hospital, Emma Lawson comes home to care for her ailing mother exhausted, unsure, and determined to keep her heart shut. What she doesn’t expect is Luke Carson, the boy who once lived next door, still rooted in the same place. Now a paramedic, he carries a steady strength that draws her in when she least wants it.

Small-town life feels foreign at first, but Luke’s quiet gestures fixing the porch, bringing over meals, sharing unhurried silences start to ease more than Emma’s weariness. With each moment, she rediscovers not just belonging, but the possibility of something deeper.

When a tempting job offer from the city resurfaces, Emma must confront the question she’s avoided: does real healing come from moving on, or staying put?

Can the neighbor she once knew be the man she dares to trust again?
