Book Description
Orphaned at a tender age, Elsie has spent her entire life toiling away in the orphanage, scrubbing floors and doing menial chores in exchange for room and board. On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, a sudden revelation turns her world upside down: she discovers she has a husband waiting for her, and she must embark on a journey by train to meet him. In a heart-wrenching twist, the headmistress cruelly separates Elsie from her beloved sister, Eleanor, forbidding them to bid each other farewell. As Elsie boards the train bound for Colorado, her stomach churns with anxiety, leaving her pondering the fate of her sister. Dr. Clark is a man deeply devoted to the pursuit of knowledge, burying himself in books and dedicating his life to caring for the sick and injured. Amidst the thriving town of Georgetown, Colorado, brimming with miners seeking fortunes, the doctor has focused solely on his medical practice, neglecting the search for a wife or a family. Therefore, when Elsie unexpectedly arrives, he is perplexed as to why she has been sent as his bride, since he had specifically requested an assistant for his practice from his nephew. Will love's gentle pulse awaken between the doctor and Elsie, bridging the gap between their differences? Or will Elsie's yearning to reunite with her sister lead her to flee their blossoming connection?
