Prudance

A gifted healer seeking acceptance. A skeptical doctor guarding his heart. Can love and trust grow in a town divided by tradition and progress?

Prudence Lynch has always lived on the edge of society, trained by her beloved grandmother in midwifery and folk medicine. Ostracized and plagued by rumors, Prudence dreams of a fresh start after her grandmother's death. When she's chosen to travel with Lydia Harrison to Tarnation, Texas, she believes she's finally left trouble behind and can establish her healing practice in peace.

Doctor Riley Gaston is dedicated to his community and longs for a wife and family, but he's wary of anything that challenges his medical training. When he meets Prudence, he's captivated—until he learns her profession is folk healing, which he considers dangerous and worthless. Both are stubborn, and their clash of beliefs threatens to keep them apart.

But when trouble strikes Tarnation, Prudence and Riley must reconsider their opinions and work together to save those they love. Will they find common ground in time, or will pride and prejudice cost them their chance at happiness?

Perfect for readers who love western historical romance, Texas frontier romance, strong heroine stories, healer heroine romance, opposites attract romance, small town romance series, and uplifting tales of second chances.
