Lada'S Grove (Bailey Rose, M.D.)

Bailey Rose has a ring on her left ring finger: a diamond too big and refined for her rough, chapped hand, from a man she loves like a brother. She has another ring, too, on her other hand: a plain wooden band, carved for her by the man she loves, heart, body, and soul. Her heart yearns for another wagon ride to San Antonio with his hands in her hair. For another dance on the muddy banks of Glory Creek. For another ten minutes in a hen house. For an entire night on the green meadow at the base of Feather Hill. For a lifetime with him. Can she give in to this all-consuming love and be his mistress her whole life long, while he ascends to political greatness and raises a family with the perfect wife, to whom he is bound by a sense of honor? Or can she remain his stalwart friend, suppressing the feelings they share and beginning a life with another? As she questions her engagement to a man she doesn't love, Bailey runs away to Philadelphia to find her mother's family and solve the mystery Addie Rose. Bailey's fianc? Thomas fights a battle of his own as he discovers something extraordinary and unforeseen in the least expected of places.Only a terrible illness can bring Bailey back to her beloved Bluebonnet Ranch. As she is quarantined for four weeks with Jacob and his family, she must not only fight for the life of his family, but fight the temptation of hopeless, impossible love. Fervid, fiery, all-consuming. Will they both come to realize that friendship is impossible? Just when she decides she must run far away, an enemy's revelation of Bailey's terrible childhood secret seals her fate, sending her to the darkest place imaginable.The Bailey Rose, M.D. Series:San Antonio, 1891. For Bailey, Jacob is a majestic boy she thought she may have simply imagined as part of some ephemeral childhood dream. But she soon discovers that Jacob is real flesh and blood, and he's a successful political comer, determined to bring great progressive change to the city but unwilling to sacrifice those goals by bucking the establishment to support Bailey's unorthodox ideas for the care of the prostitutes in the Red Light District. The indissoluble tie that binds them together, one formed in an enchanted childhood encounter, has grown into one fueled by intense passion and an inexplicable soul-connection. Events force them apart and push them together again: a sweet suitor who seems to be a safe match for Bailey, horrific family secrets, a murder indictment and trial, Jacob's conniving fianc?, and a plot twist involving an unfathomable threat from their past.An inspiring tribute to the pioneer women doctors who braved ridicule and prejudice to care for the very neediest--and to the men who loved and supported them. Historical romance, mystery, magical realism--and a touch of the paranormal--seamlessly blend in this series of the impossible, enduring love of a strong heroine and the man who loves her.Book One - Glory CreekBook Two - Rosie's CastleBook Three - Lada's GroveBook Four - The Red RoseBook Five - Green Meadow
