Betrayed by his ex-fiancée, Dr. Wyatt Gallagher turns to the one woman he can always trust – his best friend, Mia Watson. After moving away, Wyatt has realized he wants more than friendship with the beautiful artist. With that in mind, he convinces Mia to come to Marietta for the Christmas holidays. But wooing Mia is surprisingly difficult — especially given the passionate night they’ve already … already shared.
Though Mia Watson has loved Wyatt Gallagher for years, he’s always seen her as a friend, never a lover. Except for one unforgettable interlude when comfort turned to passion. Then Wyatt moved back to Montana, leaving Mia with an unexpected consequence of their night together–and soon, heartbreak to follow.
Faced with the fulfillment of her dreams, Mia knows she must reveal the consequences of their night together to Wyatt. But having withheld the truth for so long, will her confession destroy his trust in her, ending their friendship and any hope of a future together?

A nice enjoyable story!
This was a great book. The characters were fascinating to read. Friends for years until one night of devastation to Wyatt. He goes to her as needing a friend. One thing leads to another and they end up sleeping together. After that night, she becomes pregnant and he moved back to Montana. She unfortunately has a miscarriage. Since there is no longer a baby and he hasn’t contacted her but twice in months, she figures he regrets that night and doesn’t tell him. Wyatt does invite her to Montana after many months have passed. The rest of the story you will need to read. It was a complex plot. Some people believe that not telling someone something is a lie by omission, others do not. It is a question up for debate. The Gallagher family appear in the story and two of the brothers had prior stories and their continued stories are highlighted here. Do you need to read them to understand this story, no. I haven’t but I will now.
This story was written in my favorite dual POV. Getting in the mind and seeing the character’s thoughts and feeling, is important especially in this story. You can really understand both sides here and see where the angst is coming from.
Yes, there are both swearing and sex scenes. Are they necessarily, well as far I can tell a lot of people swear. As for the sex scenes, there were a few but this book isn’t erotica by any means. It is just the continual and growing relationship between these two people.
Cute book to read during the holidays. I really enjoyed this easy to read book keep my mind off the troubles of the world.
I was searching for a nice holiday read, and definitely stumbled upon one! It was “risque” mixed with a Hallmark movie. That’s what I would call a perfect combo.
great story, enjoyed every minute of it. would love to read more of her books
Just a cute story with friendship, then love and romance.

Nicely written, relaxing read.
Doctors, cowboys, snowy mountains and lovely ladies all at Christmas! Yes,
this book has an amazing story line of course! The detailed description of the mountains and the ranch were so vivid I felt I was watching a movie! I Loved the characters and each of their hang ups, but how Mia and Wyatt worked thru theirs went from heart wrenching to sadness and back to hopeful. I’ll stop there so I won’t ruin the ending!
Cute story and you get to visit Montana.
11/13/2020 I was immediately intrigued by “The Doctor’s Christmas Proposal” (nook). I enjoyed the idea that Wyatt and Mia were best friends but had known each other for only a few years. The story gradually gave the background on how they met along with their interactions leading to love. The obstacles they had to overcome were heartbreaking but the story had a HEA. Thank goodness.
Cute story. Loved the friends to lovers story. It was kinda annoying that she just wouldn’t believe him despite everything he would do and say. It got old. I understand her reticence. But come on like actions speak louder than words. But she didn’t pay attention to either. And then after dropping a bomb just up and leaves and doesn’t give him the cute test of a minute to process and talk like adults. One you claim to have loved for years. Makes no sense.
You have to buy into the basis that a one-night-stand has a right to know you got pregnant, even if they leave town and you miscarry. Accept that premise and the rest of the story is great. Of course, I am a fan of the Marietta Christmas events and characters, and they included several of them in the story. Some of the length is based upon just a little too much irrelevant detail, but most is good. I like this family, who have other stories to tell for each brother and more, and especially Marietta.
Fun entertaining story
