Publisher's Synopsis
He married her to save her life. Knowing her saved his.
Running from her mistakes, Catherine arrives in Hiramsville destitute, desperate, and in the family way. Hopes that her twin sister can solve her problems are quickly dashed when learning her parents are coming to Texas. To compound her problems, the doctor insists she stay in bed after she faints on the boardwalk.
The burden of being the only doctor in town weighs heavily on Dr. Aiden Palmer. Fueled by coffee and his convictions, Aiden does his best to serve the growing town. His newest patient touches his guarded heart in a way he hasn't experienced in years. Common sense says she is too young for him. Undertaking a marriage of convenience to protect Catherine is beyond a doctor's calling. However, Aiden enters into the marriage with the hope that their marriage will become real.
When Catherine's past catches up with her, neither of them is prepared for the life-threatening complications it brings. Determined to save her new family, Catherine runs again. Only this time, running may be the right choice.
