Alexander Buchanan is a haunted man. A frontier cavalry surgeon who fled the battlefield in the wake of unspeakable carnage, he has spent years running from the nightmares that follow him everywhere.

When the people of Mosqueros, Texas, need a doctor, Beth and Alex strike an unlikely bargain. She'll provide the nerve. He'll provide the credentials. Together, they're unstoppable.

If only they weren't falling in love.

A story of redemption, resilience, and the healing power of love and faith, set against the rugged beauty of the 1879 Texas frontier.

Perfect for fans of Karen Witemeyer, Lori Copeland, and Tracie Peterson.
