The story is part of the Uncertain Sweethearts series, which is like an ongoing saga. They take place in the town of Fox Creek. These are clean Western Historical tales and do interconnect.
Alice Cordell is a caregiver—and trained nurse. After the death of her father, she attended nursing school, where she did well, but she didn’t receive a placement. Nurse Harwell was concerned about Alice’s limp from an accident when she was a child. Alice will show her an advertisement she found in the paper—could this be the answer.
“Wanted: Woman to fill role of caretaker and nurse for busy doctor. No one under the age of twenty-five need apply.”
“This may be the answer. You spent years caring for your father, and you are more than qualified as a caregiver. You could help a doctor and care for the man’s home if you answer this.” –Nurse Harwell
Doctor Niall Mackenzie has left Fox Creek after a false accusation from one of the local young women is made. His father, Dr. Angus Mackenzie felt he needed to go and practice elsewhere. But his father has written to him asking him to come see him, something he needs to tell him face to face. What a shock to arrive the day after his father dies. Niall refuses to be a doctor to this town who has turned on him. Then to have a young woman show up at the home and practice and claim she was hired by his father to be a caretaker and nurse.
The story is a mystery, and suspense, with secrets, lies, and danger. Against his better judgment, Niall will agree to allow Alice to stay and cook and care for the home for him. He does not need a nurse, since he has no plans to tend to patients. When Alice goes into Fox Creek to pick up supplies, she experiences strange behavior from the people. The men are rude, and the women are gossiping—loudly. When the Reverend and his gossiping wife stop by the Mackenzie residence, he learns that his father had a Will, which the Reverend helped with, and it had two stipulations—he had to practice medicine here for two years and he needs to take a wife. Before Alice knows it, she is to become the wife.
The story has the good, the bad, and the ugly of people. I liked Alice and slowly learned to like Niall. He has every right to be resentful of the people who had no problem believing a lie, even after the birth of the child indicated as to the likely father. The marriage between Alice and Niall is of convenience but turns to love. The town is faced with more than one death that eventually will be solved. While it shocks and saddens many—the truth is eventually revealed and healing begins.
