FROM NURSE TO BRIDE! Alice Cordell is fed up with being shut away. She nursed her dying father and now wants to find a community that needs her and will accept her, limp and all! To that end, she trains as a nurse, graduating with the school's first class. The future seems bright until she is once again being forced into isolation, cut off from her new community of Kilbourne City, Wisconsin in The Dells. No one could blame Niall MacKenzie for growling at the woman. After all he caught her staring through his back window. Worse yet, minutes later she told him she was his caretaker. He already hates most people in town after the bitter lie they believe about him. Her insistence that he start doctoring those locals has him seeing red. Soon he has a fragile, tempting nurse to both watch over and resist. A woman who reminds him that he is a man. As for Alice, the surprise waiting for her will lead to an unwanted marriage and a rivalry that threatens her only hope for a career and a home.
