"You don't care for our doctor? Women never do. He's too careless of their emotions, too much the immovable bachelor."

The doctor in question, Dr. Adrian Sinclair, had rescued Lynden from an unfortunate predicament, but had not hesitated to let her know his opinion of her folly - "Didn't you realize before you came that West Africa is no place for an unattached woman?"

In her anger, Lynden told herself that she could not care less about what he thought. She would never have dreamed that a day might come when she would want his good opinion of her more than anything else.
