Author Description

There is no choice when her life hangs in the balance. Having spent her entire life in a New York City orphanage, Natalie Post never hoped for anything more than a quiet life tending to the youngest orphans. Now she finds herself traveling west with five girls who are like her sisters, preparing to marry a man she’s never met. Suddenly, a life as a wife and mother is within her grasp. Dr. Alexander Stanton is eager to find someone to assist him in his practice in Perseverance. Natalie appears to be the perfect wife—kind, capable, and pretty enough to leave him tongue-tied. But she’s more likely to be found providing a listening ear to his patients than helping him with the actual work of doctoring. Despite Natalie’s reticence toward the more squeamish aspects of medicine, Alex finds himself becoming more and more smitten with her. She can calm the most anxious mother and convince the most hardened cowboy to seek treatment. And she always knows the right things to say to him, even when he doesn’t know he needed it. When illness sweeps through the town, Alex needs Natalie’s help more than ever. But letting her assist him means risking her life. And when an unexpected danger from Alex's past arrives while he's busy tending the sick, will he be able to keep Natalie safe? The Doctor's Dilemma is the second book in the Stagecoach Mail-Order Brides series. It can be read as a standalone romance but is best enjoyed as part of the series.
