Doc O'Brien Meets His Match

Brides of Buckhorn Gap: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

A brilliant frontier doctor. A determined journalist. A slow burn neither could ever imagine.

Philadelphia journalist Maggie Sinclair is stranded in Buckhorn Gap, Colorado Territory, when her cousin falls gravely ill. The town's frontier doctor—brilliant, exacting, and not nearly as indifferent as he pretends—is the last man she expects to need.

Dr. Patrick O'Brien didn't come to Buckhorn Gap for company. He is not charmed by Maggie Sinclair. He is not.

But when her botanical illustration skills make her the ideal partner for his research, they find themselves thrown together whether they like it or not. He refuses to ask her to be less than she is. She sees straight through to the tender heart he keeps so carefully hidden.

A clean, slow burn historical romance. Grumpy but sweet hero. Strong heroine. Hard-earned happy ending. Second in the Buckhorn Gap series—reads as a standalone.

Author

Diana Reyes writes heartfelt historical western romances about love, redemption, and the courage to start over on the American frontier. Her Brides of Buckhorn Gap series brings together strong women, steadfast men, and the small-town community that talks about them, of course—and ultimately stands behind them.

When she isn’t writing, Diana enjoys exploring history’s forgotten corners and dreaming up new love stories beneath the wide-open skies of the American West. She lives with her husband, son and their German Shepherd. Because she stays up too late reading, every morning you can find her with a cup of hot coffee in hand.
