Miri of Shenandoah County: The Damsels of Shenandoah County Book 5
Pippa Greathouse

When she’s charged with the care of Captain Nate Alley, she’s certain she’s never met such a difficult patient in her entire life. Yet there's something about him...
Captain Alley realizes he isn’t the easiest of patients to care for. But the beautiful young woman hovering over him with invisible angel’s wings works her way into his heart before he realizes it. He adores her; yet along with her kind spirit is an independent streak he’s more than determined to deal with.
And deal with it he will.
He’s already been told he can’t return to battle, and when he finds Pembroke is a house full of ladies and children whose men have all left for war, he’s determined to protect them, even in his injured state.
Beautiful little Miri is there too, and has been assigned his care. She, however, has no intention of ever falling for anyone again.
Ever.
