About this ebook
When Dr. George Pritchard asked Phoebe to marry him, she hadn't needed much persuading.
The recent death of her aunt had left her penniless and without a job. Besides, she did like him. Never mind that his proposal sounded more like an inventory than a courtship—practical security was nothing to dismiss.
Moving across the Woolpit green to keep his house and sort clinic cards seemed an easy bargain. Even if their quiet Suffolk household seemed a world away from romance, she was determined to make him a sensible wife.
So what if he'd made it plain that he wasn't in love with her—at least she knew where she stood. It wasn't until after the wedding that she began to wonder if liking was going to be enough….
A quiet Suffolk surgery, a sensible arrangement, and two people pretending companionship is all they need.
