Tenderness

A nurse falls in love with a man falsely accused of a crime in this historical romance by a New York Times–bestselling author.

1902. Deep in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, Jesse Forbes delivers babies and tends to the sick with a feisty bravery.

But her courage may doom rebel Wade Simmer, who's been branded a troublemaker by the powerful Harper family, and when the whole town blames Wade for a horrible crime, Jesse must prove his innocence—and her love.
