Santiago's Daughter (Laramie #2)
Marcella DiPaolo
Santiago Scott had adopted two children when Sasha Lambert died in childbirth. Kian and Kara…Kian wanted to be a U. S. Marshal, but Kara wanted to be a doctor. She never forgot that her mother died in childbirth, she wanted to keep any other woman from dying when they had a baby. She also wanted to help as many people as she could get better. It was hard living and raising a family in the west. She wanted to make it easier.
Being only one of three women in her medical class in Denver’s School of Medicine wasn’t easy. But she wasn’t scared or frightened. Santi had taught her to stand up for herself. She was smart and could take care of herself against any man. She made the men she was learning with believers…she was just as good as they were, probably better. She didn’t get the job offers they did when they graduated, but she did receive an offer to work with the doctor in Laramie in his clinic. She accepted and went to work near where Santi lived. He was thrilled as much as she was. She came to work with Doctor Leslie Owens, who had been the doctor in Laramie for the last six years. He was good and promptly found that Kara was an excellent doctor and surgeon. They worked well together and the people of Laramie were lucky to have two such wonderful doctors in their town.
Kara still saw Santi, but not as much as she liked or he would have liked, but he was glad that she was doing what she wanted to do with her life. He and his wife and two sons were happy on his mountain, and she was happy in the town near to them. It was as it should be…but he wanted Kara to find a man that would bring her happiness and children. There were several men in Laramie who tried to get her attention, but to do that they had to also get Santi’s approval. It sure wasn’t going to be easy.
