    About this ebook

    INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS:
    In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy.
    Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East. 
     
    Doctor Sarah Hamilton came to the little mid-west town of Granville in an effort to make herself more acceptable to the American people. She hoped that by taking over as locum to one of the towns best-loved doctors she would get to know the people and their way of life.
    But there were two other strangers in town . . . one an ex-patient of Sarah's, the other a deranged and dangerous man with whom Sarah was to become involved to a degree she had never anticipated. Were they, in fact, one and the same man? Was Sarah right to trust and believe in Steve Gresham, with his tragic past and uncertain future . . .
