The Doctor's Wife

Ellie Parrish has done a great job running away from a horrific past. Now, her goal -- unrealistic as it may be -- is to remove her brothers from servitude and take care of them herself. An accident brought Ellie and Dr. Caleb Chaney, a widowed doctor with an infant son, together. And necessity kept them together as helpmates. But then Caleb shocked Ellie with a marriage proposal. Initially, Ellie recoiled: people like her simply do not marry the likes of Dr. Caleb Chaney. And even if his offer is the answer to her prayers, Ellie feels that a man as decent as Caleb doesn't deserve a woman whose entire past is a lie. Caleb could see that Ellie was a woman with a troubled soul. But beyond that, he sees a woman with a heart big enough to love his infant son as if she were his mother. Marriage would solve both of their problems -- and might even open the doors to a warm and lasting love . . .
