About this title

Book Description:

Training as a nurse, Beth dreams of serving the people of her town suffering without a doctor. When she meets a doctor deserting from the army, she finds they work well together. But can she give up her dreams of doctoring and help him rid his demons so that he can heal again?

From the Back Cover:

Who Is Man Enough to be Doctor of Mosqueros, Texas?

When nurse Beth McClellan survives a stage coach accident, she soon realizes the derelict traveling alongside her is a doctor, and she forces him to help tend the injured. Alex Buchanan, army deserter, finds he can only care for the patients as long as Beth is right beside him, giving him courage. . .by yelling at him.

Beth thinks he’s a lunatic when he proposes that they marry and work together in her home town. But there’s no denying his skill, and she can see the emotional price Alex pays to help hurting people. Besides, she owes the guy for saving her own sister.

So she agrees to marry him.

And that’s when the real trouble begins. A murderous bounty hunter is on Alex’s trail. Alex only has to live long enough to turn himself in, and then he may face a firing squad. Not exactly the honeymoon of Beth’s dreams.

Alex may find the faith he lost while surrounded by the horrors of war, but will doing the right thing by facing his past, cost him his wife. . .and his life?
