A society woman leaves her comfortable lifestyle so that she can help her daughter adjust to the arrival of twin sons in a small town where the courageous doctor teaches her about taking risks.
Wealthy and sociable Margaret Millerson has always thought of her brother’s Chicago mansion as her home. But when she receives the telephone call that her daughter has given birth to twins three weeks ahead of the expected due date, Margaret must leave her comfortable home, her family, and her friends to travel out of state. While she is helping her daughter care for the infants, Margaret becomes reacquainted with the town’s doctor, Matthew Kaldenberg.
Dr. Matthew Kaldenberg stays busy caring for the health of the citizens of his small town. His profession offers him daily practice in defeating death, his greatest enemy. During the twenty years since losing his own wife and baby in childbirth, Matthew has saved his money for the purchase of a flying machine. But when Matthew takes Margaret for flights on his biplane, he learns that his dreams of rising above the griefs and losses of his past come with a cost. He doesn’t want to lose the trust of the people he cares about most, or the chance at a relationship with Margaret.
Both Matthew and Margaret must make difficult decisions to hold on to the love they have discovered. Will Matthew’s heart recover from sorrow? Will Margaret find her true home?

Read an exclusive excerpt:
Her words should deflate him. They should puncture him with disappointment. Instead, they fueled the burning flame inside of him. She knew who she was and what she wanted. He admired her strength and her honesty. A pursuit that should sink him in defeat brought on a surge of victory. He’d found the right woman to share the rest of his life with. He’d wait for her and he would win her. Love would melt her aversions. Her heart was on his side.
Matthew stood and assisted Margaret to her feet. As soon as she’d gained solid footing, he eased her into his embrace. “I’ll wait.” He whispered the words while searching the depths of her eyes.
Margaret’s arm slid over his shoulder and around his neck as if it followed its own pleasures without any effort from her at all. She returned the serious gaze while an unseen bond drew them together.
Her lips didn’t resist when his own rested on them. The sweet contact lasted for just a few brief moments, but it was long enough to convince him that only a woman willing to consider marrying him would share a kiss like that one.
She pulled away first and stared at him with large startled eyes. Questions and fear lurked on her face. If she was afraid of him or of her own readiness to yield to him, her silence didn’t say. Matthew smiled at her with a large, satisfied grin that stretched across his whole face, the first one of its kind in a very long time.
