A Historical Western Romance Short Story From Bestselling
Author Karen Witemeyer
After serving as a
doctor during the War Between the States, Jacob Sadler wants
nothing more than to establish a quiet country practice in rural
Texas. But he knows he'll never find peace until he buries the pain
of his past. To that end, he accepts a job in Cold Spring,
Texas--the town he's avoided for seventeen years--and discovers his
past is definitely still alive and kicking.
When a new doctor arrives in town and saves her brother's leg,
Mollie Tate quickly puts him on a hero's pedestal. But then the new
doc insults her "Uncle" Curtis. Years ago, Curtis Sadler rescued
Mollie when no one else cared. How could he possibly be the villain
the new doctor believes him to be?
Jacob doesn't know what to make of the young woman who assists him
like a seasoned nurse one minute only to take a strip out of his
hide the next. Yet the sparks that fly between them make him feel
more alive than he has in a long time. As respect for his young
nurse turns into something deeper, can he set aside the pain from
his past to embrace this new love, or are some sins too big to be
forgiven?
