To Love and Cherish — Colleen L. Reece

At the pinnacle of success, Dr. Edward Lucas loses both love and position. Instead of being named head surgeon at Charlotte, North Carolina's most prestigious hospital in the mid-1800s, he's charged with a crime he didn't commit. Bitterly vowing never to practice medicine again, Luke goes into exile in the back woods of Stump Hollow. Trying to escape his past, he faces challenges there that will either kill him or heal his spirit.
