What happens when two medical professionals--ex Army medic from a
village in the Scottish Highlands and an inner city nurse from
inner-city London--switch jobs for three months and become unlikely pen
pals?
Lissa, is a nurse in a gritty, hectic London neighborhood. Always
terribly competent and good at keeping it all together, she's been
suffering quietly with PTSD after helping to save the victim of a
shocking crime. Her supervisor quietly arranges for Lissa to spend a few
months doing a much less demanding job in the little town of Kirrinfeif
in the Scottish Highlands, hoping that the change of scenery will help
her heal. Lissa will be swapping places with Cormack, an Army veteran
who's Kirrinfeif's easygoing nurse/paramedic/all-purpose medical man.
Lissa's never experienced small-town life, and Cormack's never spent
more than a day in a big city, but it seems like a swap that would do
them both some good.
In London, the gentle Cormack is a fish out of the water; in Kirrinfief,
the dynamic Lissa finds it hard to adjust to the quiet. But these two
strangers are now in constant contact, taking over each other's
patients, endlessly emailing about anything and everything. Lissa and
Cormack discover a new depth of feeling...for their profession and for
each other.
But what will happen when Lissa and Cormack finally meet...?
