Templeton, Missouri, is in desperate need of a doctor to treat the scarlet fever epidemic that has infected their town and claimed the life of their local doctor. Boston native Dr. John Carson is their only hope. Molded by a lifetime of pain and loss, John is impersonal and withdrawn, and treats symptoms instead of people. When he arrives in Templeton, he finds he must work with Sarah Bethel, the late doctor’s daughter who has been treating the ill, and his staunch attitude is challenged. She is bright, caring, dedicated to her neighbors, and has a temper that matches his! He is mesmerized by the woman whose fiery spirit infuriates him and inherent compassion intrigues him. Will Sarah’s kindness be enough to heal the scars of the past and allow John to open his heart and create a new future?
