An American historical romance set in 1887.
Mack Reagan's been building things since he was old enough to hold a hammer. Designing and building a block of new storefronts for Clear Creek's council's Main Street project makes him a happy carpenter.
But carpentry is forgotten when the new doctor arrives in Clear Creek, Kansas...because the doctor is a big and tall woman, matching his gigantic stature.
Pansy Walline is right out of medical school and anxious to start her first job as a doctor for a Kansas frontier town. Of course, the town council who hired Doctor P.F. Walline doesn't realize she's a woman, but she's confident she'll earn their trust right away if the love-sick carpenter doesn't get in her way.
What happens when the town draws a line between needs and wants, right and wrong, and Mack and Pansy get boxed in the middle of this construction mess? More than sawdust could ignite in the sparks which fly between these two normally calm people.
