The Surgeon Bride (Brides of Lone Pine Book 9)

It is 1877 and there are hardly any qualified female doctors, which makes it difficult for Rachel. Her post at her teaching hospital is about to end and the only option is another post in the Lone Pine area of California where a new hospital is being built. The problem is that the hospital authorities want her to be married and there is nobody she wishes to marry. Which leaves one option, going as a mail order bride.
Jude wants a marriage in name only because he feels his secret will put off a prospective bride.
