A Summer at Sea by Katie Fforde

A phone call from a friend asking for help comes just at the right time for midwife Emily who needs a break from the medical bureaucracy in her local Cotswold village.  Her friend Rebecca asks her to be the cook on their puffer boat in Scotland until the end of the holiday season. 

Emily arranges to take a short sabatical from her normal job and heads to Scotland to cook on the boat as Rebecca, at 6 months pregnant, is struggling to continue with the work herself.

Emily falls in love with the area and the people.  She is attracted to Alasdair the local GP who is also Rebecca's brother in law.  But although he is also possibly attracted to her, he is a single parent with a small daughter who must always come first in his life.

She had been convinced that she wanted to stay single and not have children of her own but then, after Rebecca gives birth, she changes her mind.
