Katie Napier is happy with her life as a midwife and healer in the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia. So why does her family suddenly decide she needs to have a husband?  It’s not that she’s adverse to it, mind you, it’s just that by her estimation, men are more of a hindrance than a help.  But she agrees to their plan to find a husband because for the purpose of having children.  Unfortunately, each of her well meaning, though zany, family members finds her the man of their dreams and now she has three fiancés!

John Keffer, a widowed doctor with secrets of his own, comes to town with is five year old daughter to set up practice and escape memories, but the locals don’t trust the outsider and continue to seek help from the healer they’ve known for years.  John’s only way to gain their trust is to hire Katie to help him in his office.  What he’s not expecting, however, is her request that he help her decide which fiancé she’s going to keep.  A task complicated when he finally realizes he wants to keep her for himself.

A MIDWIFE CRISIS is a fun filled romance that is guaranteed to bring a smile to your lips and a tug to your heartstrings.

As if losing the war to the Yankees weren’t bad enough, Lottie Mason must get  $15,000 dollars to protect her ailing father from prison.  None of her friends have that kind of money and the only place she can think of to get it is from the thriving riverboat gambling enterprise on the Mississippi.  Problem is, she doesn’t know a thing about playing cards.  So she approaches the best gambler on the river to offer him a deal.  She’ll pay him a percentage of her earnings if he’ll teach her to gamble. 

Texan Dyer Straights has his own demons to fight and teaching Lottie poker is the last thing he wants to do.  When Lottie’s pestering finally pushes him to the end of his rope, he makes her the most scandalous deal he can think of in order to scare her away…he’ll teach her the game if she’ll give him a night in his bed.

What he doesn’t know is, it’s an offer she can’t refuse.
