Her Vagabond Physician

Nell Harding can set a bone better than any surgeon in London. What she cannot do is be paid for it. So she cuts her hair, borrows her dead master's coat, and takes a post as a man's assistant in a field hospital. She lasts three days. Dr. Isaac Vance has spent years outrunning a scandal, and he recognises a person with nothing left to lose. He does not turn her in. He teaches her — grudgingly, then completely. Back in England they hang a sign on a damp Dover house with one name on it. The patients come for her. The trouble comes for him. When his old scandal is printed in a London paper, only one witness can clear him, and she is the one no one would believe. A rags to romance regency romance about two outsiders who build a practice, a reputation, and a marriage out of the same stubborn material.
