Dr Walker is quite attracted to the young Miss Lynch but is scared to take a new wife because his wife died in childbirth. As a doctor he feels like he should have been able to prevent this. He does want a mother for his son though and a warm woman in his bed isn't a bad idea in his mind either. He takes her home to Texas after he marries her. She badly wants a child with him. He is a broken man over his past wife's death . Will he risk his heart and have a child with her? Will her love heal his heart? I enjoyed this book a lot and with it's beautiful Irish looking cover and Irish references in the book it's perfect for it's March 8th release.I have not read this author before but will be looking for more of Linda LaRoque's books.
Release date March 8,2017.
