One Knight in Tonica

Wanted: Physician for small town in Texas. Applicant must be of good moral character and a graduate of a medical college. Prefer a gentleman with experience but will consider a recent degree. Housing may be included. Contact A. Bailey, Tonica, Texas.

Wanting no part of the "you're either with us or against us" crowd, Dr. Mathew Knight knows he has to leave town. Answering a help wanted advertisement may be the only way to escape with his life. Just how did responding to that ad become an offer of marriage to a widow?

Desperate to find a doctor for Tonica, and knowing how inadequate her backwoods medicine could be, Abigail Bailey accepts Dr. Knight's offer of marriage by proxy. Problem is, Abigail Bailey hasn't been entirely honest with Mathew Knight. She's still in love with her deceased husband. To be honest, Mathew hasn't been exactly honest with her, either.
