Men, Lillian Richmond, knew from experience couldn't be trusted. She'd spent over half of her life fighting the prejudices against women for daring to take on a man's profession. Even her beloved father, a physician, hadn't encouraged her to add Doctress to her name. He had encouraged her to marry a man who destroyed her reputation.

Traveling across the country to meet her mentor, she was waylaid by a small town begging for help. Big Jim Newton couldn't believe the small, pretty woman who responded to a mining accident was capable of helping the town of Percy. Instead, she saved lives and decided to stick around. His only problem now was making her believe that not only the town needed her, but he did too. She was a stubborn little lady, but he put out the word that she was his.
