Love Without Wings // Surgeon's Wife — Margaret Malcolm

Barbie Carstairs and Justin Latimer had been adopted as youngest by Justin's uncle, Dandy, after their parents deaths. It seemed natural when Dandy died that Justin should want to protect Barbie by proposing marriage. Having once been jilted, Justin confessed he was marrying her out of fondness, unblinded by passion--a deliberate choice. Barbie failed to realize just how deliberate until she learned, too late, the terms of Dandy's will.
