The local hospital is hiring a new director and she has the education and enough experience to be a contender. The only problem is her competition is the resident doctor at the hospital, the boy next door and her old high school crush Trace. Single father, Trace Collins loves being a surgeon and raising his daughter in his home town, but the hours are impacting his daughter in the worst way.

He applies immediately, expecting to be a shoo-in until he hears Allie is in town. They'd played doctor growing up, and while competing for the same position should put them at odds, it only seems to put them in the mood to take this rivalry to the bedroom instead of the boardroom. Delve into a new world of romance, mystery, and magic in the quirky coastal town of Cinnamon Bay, North Carolina.
