With Autumn’s Return

By Amanda Cabot
She’s planning on instant success. She didn’t plan on love.
When Elizabeth Harding arrives in Cheyenne to open her medical practice, she is confident that the future is as bright as the warm Wyoming sun. Certain she’ll have a line of patients eager for her services, she soon discovers the town may not welcome a new physician–especially a lady doctor. Even Jason Nordling, the handsome young attorney next door, seems to disapprove of her chosen profession.
When a web of deceit among Cheyenne’s wealthiest residents threatens to catch Elizabeth and Jason in its snare, they must risk working together to save one of Elizabeth’s patients–even if it means falling in love.
ISLAND BREEZES
Elizabeth has a good life planned for herself. She’s graduated from medical school and moved to Cheyenne where she can be close to her two sisters. One major problem exists. In 1887, female physicians weren’t popular.
Elizabeth didn’t want to end up as just a glorified midwife, but it seems as if the people prefer a crusty old man who appeared to be only on step up from being a quack. So she sits in her new office bored to tears and wondering how long it will take before she can no longer afford to keep the office open.
The young lawyer next door did nothing to lift her spirits either. She wasn’t interested in dealing with an opinionated jerk.
Fortunately Elizabeth happens to be on hand to rescue a woman when she fell. The “lady” had an unsavory lifestyle, but did bring in some patients. That helped keep her afloat, but did little to boost Elizabeth’s practice.
Eventually a few more patients trickled in and Jason, the attorney, became a friend. That was a good thing since they had to work together to squelch some rumors and to find a murderer.
I’ve been enjoying the Westward Winds series and am looking forward to seeing what Ms Cabot has for us next.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and review my book. I’m delighted that you enjoyed Elizabeth and Jason’s story. As for what’s next, I’m thrilled to have a novella in Revell’s first novella collection, Sincerely Yours, which will be released in April. And in October, my first contemporary for them, On Bluebonnet Lake, will be available. It’s going to be a busy year!

I’ll be looking forward to both.
