Bernadette Baxter, the youngest of the four Baxter sisters, is known throughout Hatfield for her herbal remedies, quick wit, and compassionate heart. Whether crafting lozenges, setting broken bones, or delivering herbal teas, Bernadette has earned the trust and reliance of the townspeople. But when a new doctor arrives, her place in the community is suddenly under threat. Dr. Glynn Williams has seen his share of battlefield injuries and is determined to bring modern medicine to Hatfield. But his arrival is met with resistance from Bernadette, whose strong will and herbal expertise challenges everything he believes about healing. Their rivalry sparks plenty of tension, and more than a little attraction, as they clash over patients, practices, and the stubborn belief that they know best. As Bernadette and Glynn are forced to work together, their animosity begins to soften into admiration. But with Napoleon’s escape from Elba casting a shadow over England and Bernadette’s father still missing in France, both face challenges that threaten to drive them apart. Can Bernadette and Glynn find common ground – and love – before duty and danger tear them away from each other?
