Medicine Man
2018
Book #5 in the Silverpines Series Wanted: Medicine Man by Christine Sterling
Hattie Richards has two strikes against her: she is half Native American and a woman. Even with her education as a physician, the town of Silverpines doesn't see her as more than a healer. Her exotic looks, and kind heart capture the attention of many men and the irritation of many women. When a disaster strikes, Hattie aids the very people who rejected her skills. Needing help, she sends a telegram to her alma mater back East asking for a resident physician.
Dr. Robert Childs has always wanted a practice of his own. When a position for a town doc opens in Silverpines, Robert knew this was his opportunity to move West and start anew. The only condition? He must come as a mail-order groom. If that isn’t bad enough, his intended wife has no idea of his existence.
Hattie is grateful for the help he provides caring for the many wounded. As they work together, Hattie finds herself falling in love with the gentle doctor. He is caring, attentive and seems at ease working with Hattie and her more natural remedies. However, she isn't the intended bride!
When the real resident physician arrives, Dr. Childs realizes he may have arrived under false pretenses. Can these two people open their hearts to true love and heal more than just the people of Silverpines?
This is a sweet romance with some kissing and lots of misunderstandings, as two wounded people go seeking a happily ever after. Although this is part of the Silverpines series, it can be read as a stand-alone novel.

AKA Barbara A. Masci & Barbara Masci-Goss From Kindle Author Page: Barbara Masci Goss is now just Barbara Goss. I live in Western New York State and have three grown sons, two step daughters and 10 grandchildren. I wrote my books in the early '90's and now that I'm retired I have obtained the book rights and am converting them to Kindle. That's exciting for me because I don't read paper books at all anymore. I have designed new covers with a new author name: Barbara Goss. My first two books "Captured Heart" and "Forbidden Legacy" went to a second printing in the mid '90's and the publisher added my name as Barbara Masci-Goss, but I now prefer to keep it short and sweet. From Author Website: I'm from Western New York, and I live with my husband and two cats, Mandy and Molly. I wrote these books in the early 1990's in paperback. My publishers were Fleming Revell and Baker Book House. Now, I have the rights and have put them out on E-Books so people can still enjoy them. My goal in writing these books is to provide clean but still romantic and adventurous novels for all ages. I've always felt that we needed more clean, wholesome books. When I wrote these books there were but a handful of Christian romance writers. Now, thankfully there are more. My biggest influence in writing was Grace Livingston Hill. Enjoy.
