The Doctor's Healing

By Ann Laurel

She heals the sick. He nurses a grudge. Trapped on a mountain, they only have each other.

Luke Galloway is the bitter twin-the one who stayed behind, the one who took the hard knocks, the one who doesn't believe in happy endings. He wants nothing to do with the beautiful, high-handed Dr. Birdie Hemlock, but when she hires him to guide her to a fever-stricken mining camp in the dead of winter, he can't refuse the money.

Dr. Birdie Hemlock relies on science, not cowboys. She finds Luke infuriatingly cynical, even if he is capable in a crisis. But when a rockslide leaves them stranded and the fever they raced to fight turns on them, the dynamic shifts. Stripped of their defenses in the freezing wilderness, Luke and Birdie must rely on faith and each other to survive. As Luke watches Birdie fight for the lives of strangers, he begins to wonder if his own hardened heart is the one thing that needs saving most.

An emotional journey of letting go of bitterness and finding the cure for a lonely heart.
