Mary

A mysterious man captivates a kindhearted medic in this historical western romance from the author of the Kincaids series.

For widow Mary Inlow, there is little to mourn for her dead husband, the man who mocked her inability to bear him a child. Although she is haunted by nightmares, she is intent to start life anew. Mary becomes a reliable town medic.

Living an accomplished and peaceful little life alongside her childhood friends, dubbed the Merry Widows, Mary is determined to take her sweet time entering back into the world as a free woman. She vows to never again cater to the demands of another man. That is until one shows up on her doorstep bloody, exhausted, and carrying his life on his shoulders.

Desperately seeking medical help for his wounded little girl, Rafe McCade barges through Mary's front door in the worst shape of his life. Ushered into action by a child in need, Mary asks for little information of the frantic father, but his tender care of the child speaks volumes. McCade is forever in debt to Mary for rescuing his daughter. Yet the longer he stays in her home, the more he fears she may just rescue something money cannot repay: a piece of his soul he thought long dead.
