Monk and the Maiden

Love is a sickness, and she's the cure.

After dozens of disinterested suitors over nearly a decade, Iselda de Vere resigns herself to life as an old maid. Fortunately, marriage isn't her true passion. Her love of medicine and healing give her a vocation that provides her with a sense of meaning and purpose. Determined to find a man that could appreciate her skill and intelligence and see beyond her shy demeanor, her family decides to provide some unasked-for help that leads to mayhem.

For nine years, William studied and practiced medicine with the Hospitallers, and now he can't believe he's debating remedies with the baron's youngest daughter. When his family comes to town, they concoct a scheme to force him to marry. He finds himself locked in a cellar with Iselda, and they must team up to find a way to escape their families' plots. A tentative alliance turns into something more.

Will he give up his vocation for a chance at love?
