Freedom's Embrace

Jonathan is the only doctor within several days' ride of Graham, Pennsylvania, and he's desperate for a nurse to assist him. His salvation comes in the form of Naomi, a runaway slave who shows up ill on his doorstep. When she agrees to be his nurse in exchange for treatment, his world lights up. Unfortunately, not everyone in town approves of Jonathan's new nurse. His mother and some of his patients express their distaste, but she's captured Jonathan's heart, and he'll defend her at any cost. When Naomi's former master rides into town, Jonathan discovers just how far he'll go to keep the woman he loves from being torn from his arms, and from freedom's embrace.
