      Reviving The Doctor’s Love Life

      Neurosurgeon Julia Fitzgerald graduated high school at fourteen, whizzed through med school and even became a successful navy captain. Alas, when the subject is romance, she’s a dunce. No amount of textbook learning can help her find a date or understand what men really want.

      When handsome-as-heck contractor Kane Chatterson begins renovating Julia’s house, she finds him...distracting. Is it his strong, tanned forearms? His quiet, confident manner? Mr. Sexy Flannel Shirt doesn’t have any of the qualities Julia believes she needs in a man. But when he offers to help her find the perfect date, she reluctantly agrees. And as Julia gets schooled in the fine art of love, she realizes that Kane might be exactly what the doctor ordered...

      “Wait. Why am I explaining all this to you?” Julia asked.

      “Because I have the kind of face that makes people want to open up?” Why was he being so damn flirty? It was as if Kane couldn’t stop the asinine comments from flying out. But she’d caught him off guard looking like that. Plus, she was much more down-to-earth when she rambled on about nothing.

      “No. You have the kind of face that makes people feel as if they’re strapped to a polygraph machine.” That was an interesting revelation. Did he make her nervous?

      “You don’t like my face?” He reached up to stroke his famous trademark beard, then remembered he’d shaved it several months ago when he’d moved to Sugar Falls. Instead, he touched a bristly jawline that felt like eighty-grade sandpaper.

      “I’m not going to answer that, either.” But he could tell by the blush rising up from her scoop-neck tank that she probably liked his face more than she wanted to admit.

       Chapter One

      Captain Julia Calhoun Fitzgerald had no problem commanding a full surgical team in the operating room during an emergency decompressive craniectomy, but she could be naked, standing on her head and yelling from a bullhorn, and nobody in the Cowgirl Up Café would give her a second look.

      “May I get some...” Julia’s voice trailed off when she realized she was talking to the back of the busboy’s turquoise T-shirt. He’d unceremoniously dropped the plate of food off on the counter between her seat and the empty one next to her, not bothering to ask if she had everything she needed.

      She looked down the counter and saw an unused place setting two seats over. She could either sit here, going unnoticed for another twenty minutes—which was how long it’d taken for the waitress to take her order in the first place—or she
