Doctor of mercy

"Huge, redheaded Dr. Clay Walters was probably the most popular and respected man in the Cates. His only trouble was that he'd been far too busy all his thirty-five years to study much more than the clinical aspects of the female of the species--which made him an easy victim for a pretty little schemer like Maria Featherstone. But when Biddy Conway came home to care for her dying father, it didn't take Clay long to realise that Biddy was a warm, beautiful young woman and Maria just a Dresden doll. Maria Featherstone was not one to step aside gracefully, however."--Dust jacket.
