1890s – Oregon
One small town. One gentle doctor. One chance to begin again…
Famed violinist Isolde Weatherford has performed for thousands, but she’s never been more terrified than she is now—alone in a strange town, her carefully arranged future in tatters. She was supposed to meet a prospective groom, one her identical twin sister kindly screened on her behalf. But now that groom is taken, the town knows the truth about the twin swap, and Isolde has no one left to marry.
Worse, her contract with a controlling manager will trap her for years unless she weds. But who would want a bride too sick to stand through a wedding march?
Dr. Aston Garrett is a man of science, but there’s nothing clinical about the way he feels when he looks at Isolde Weatherford. She’s brilliant, beautiful… and hiding more pain than she lets on. He knows he can help her heal, but can he convince her she’s worthy of love, just as she is?
With danger closing in, Isolde must choose: return to the life that nearly broke her, or trust her heart, and the town doctor who’s come to claim it.
