When Society's Darling Rebels...
Lenore Borwnley thinks she's taken her destiny into her own hands when her sister leaves Boston and Lenore takes her plaace as one of society's favorite daughters. But when the frivolous pleasures of tea parties and new frocks wear thin, Lenore escapes to the wilds of Maine and the dubious comfort of her grandmother's home -- where Lenore's parents hope she'll ingratiate herself with the headstrong keeper of the family fortune.

...She Leaves Propriety Far Behind -- For Love.
Lenore's grandmother, however, is more interested in pairing her with temptingly handsome doctor Jake Warren, who runs a local clinic in a nearby mill town. Leaving behind stuffy, proper Boston for a taste of adventure is one thing, but nursing is beyond Lenore's ken. Or so she thinks, until Jake's fiery determination to uncover her nurturing side reveals her passionate impulses instead, as well as a new longing to prove to him that she wants to be his partner in every way...
