Peyton Lacoumette arrives in Thunder Point, Oregon to check out
the town and its solo doctor Scott Grant as she decides whether to apply for
the Physician's assistant vacancy. She
chats with Devon McAllister (see The
Hero) who after learning why Peyton stopped amusingly calls her Miss
Sneaky Pants. Clearly overqualified with
experience in Portland and elsewhere, Grant hires her on a three month trial
expecting her to leave.
Peyton and Scott are attracted to each other, but both hesitate to
act on their mutually-shared feelings. She
suffered heartbreak from a lover with kids; while he struggles with the loss of
his wife and as a single dad he knows his two small children (Penny and Will) come
first. However, love proves difficult to
ignore.
The fifth Thunder Point leisurely-paced
relationship drama is an engaging second chance at life drama though the
respective reasons for inertia have been used often. The entertaining warm romance is enhanced by
the continuation of those from the previous entries (see The Chance, The
Newcomer and The Wanderer),
