The Amazing Doctors of Oak Bluff, Book 3
From the author:
Here comes another standalone heartwarming and humorous romance in the Doctors of Oak Bluff series by Amazon Top-5 author Miranda Liasson, who “deals with so much of what makes life hard . . . without ever losing the warmth and heart that characterize her writing.” ~ Entertainment Weekly.
For fans of Kristan Higgins, Susan Mallery, and Lori Wilde.
A grumpy ER boss and a sunshine doctor think they’ve sworn off romance—until one tiny baby decides to play matchmaker.
When Dr. Ani Green drags herself onto the plane after her wedding-that-never-was, she’s a self-described mess who has sworn off all relationships for good. But her “honeymoon for one” has a silver lining: Adam. He’s the kind, charming stranger who takes her trip from unbearable to almost fun.
What happens in Turks and Caicos stays there.
She left the island thinking she’d never see him again—only to walk into her new ER shift and realize that her vacation fling is her new boss. And he’s not the man she remembers.
Dr. Adam Lowenstein doesn’t do “fun.” He does rules, schedules, and whatever it takes to shield his heart from any more grief. His time in Turks and Caicos was a temporary lapse in judgment. Now that he’s the Head of Emergency Medicine, he needs to be the stoic leader—not the man who fell for a whirlwind of a woman under a tropical sun. If that means denying his connection with Ani, so be it.
Until a patient surrenders a baby with a desperate plea for help.
As their professional boundaries crumble, Adam and Ani are forced to bridge the gap between who they were on the island and who they are now. Now, they must work together to protect a tiny life—and find out if the family they never thought they’d have is the one they can’t live without.

Romantic! but Close-the-Door
Dr. Ani Green, a pediatrician, boards a plane to Turks and Caicos alone after calling off her wedding at the last minute. She knew she shouldn’t go through with it, but feels terrible for waiting until the actual wedding to call it off. At her mother’s urging, she escapes before facing the fallout at home by taking their planned honeymoon trip. Sitting next to her on the same flight is Dr. Adam Lowenstein, an ER physician and young widower, honoring a promise to take the anniversary trip he and his late wife never got to share. Nearly two years after her death, he’s still deep in grief.
Their meet-cute is anything but polished—Ani is teary, overwhelmed, and determined to survive her honeymoon, while Adam just wants to get through the week. Instead, they find comfort in each other. What begins as shared dinners and sightseeing turns into a meaningful connection—and one unforgettable night. They part knowing the timing is wrong, each assuming they’ll never meet again.
Months later, Ani is stunned to discover that Adam is the new head of the ER at her hometown hospital in Oak Bluff, where she covers shifts alongside running her practice. The warm, attentive man she met on the island has been replaced by a guarded, regimented boss who keeps everyone at arm’s length. Adam insists their past won’t interfere with work—but unresolved feelings simmer beneath the surface.
When Ani helps deliver a baby girl whose teenage mother surrenders her, she makes a life-changing decision: she’ll foster the child, with hopes of adopting her. Naming the baby Rosalie after her grandmother, Ani opens her heart in ways she never expected. With support from her own mother and Adam’s mother—a retiring social worker who specializes in foster care—Ani begins to build a new kind of family.
Adam finds himself drawn not only to Ani but to baby Rosalie. Yet he’s terrified that loving again means betraying the memory of his wife and opening himself up to hurt again. Ani, burned by past mistakes, questions her judgment and her heart. As misunderstandings, grief, and outside complications test them, they must decide whether to cling to the past or risk a future together.
Emotional, tender, and ultimately hopeful, this story is filled with heartbreak, healing, forgiveness, and second chances. I was completely invested in Ani, Adam, and Rosalie—their journey was impossible to put down. I loved it.
