The doctor's calling - Stella Bagwell

When love comes calling, what's a girl to do? Laurel Stanton never thought she had a crush on her grumpy boss - until Russ Hollister announced he was leaving his vet practice. When he proposed that she move with him to a ranch and continue to be his assistant - it made her rethink everything.

For Russ, to focus on the horses and cattle on the Cantrell ranch was the chance of a lifetime. But suddenly, facing a day without lovely Laurel's patience, smile and soothing touch would be pure purgatory. He'd made her one offer - but should he make her another?

The author of over seventy-five titles for Harlequin, Stella Bagwell writes about familes, the West, strong, silent men of honor and the women who love them. She credits her loyal readers and hopes her stories have brightened their lives in some small way. A cowgirl through and through, she recently learned how to rope a steer.
