Dr. Lucas Collins

If someone paged Dr. Handsome, Lucas would arrive early with the perfect smile and the perfect bedside manner. Intelligent and down-to-earth, he followed in his father's footsteps to become an ER doctor at the local Alder Bluffs hospital. As Darby's ‘one that got away', Lucas's furtive high school glances with her went from sparks to firestorm one rainy night when he picked her up on the side of the road after a bitter fight with Victoria. Despite promises to stay together through college, Darby felt the pull of the big city and painfully ghosted him. No prescription would mend his broken heart, until he met and got engaged to Lindsay Yip – a headstrong and whip-smart lawyer. Together, they're Alder Bluff's portmanteau couple. That is, until Darby's return.
