The doctor meets his match...

Patience Martin is a country girl with a sharp tongue and absolutely no interest in the latest fashions. She's hardly the sort of woman who normally attracts the attention of wealthy Dutch surgeon Julius van der Beek!

But something about Patience makes her stand out - and it isn't just because they were snowbound together. Not that it means he'll fall in love with her - not with the glamorous Sylvia van Teule making it very clear she expects to become his wife...
