Doctor on Horseback

INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS:
In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy.
Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East.

A doctor comes to Wollaton Springs as locum — a young woman doctor, with blue eyes and corn-coloured hair. As might be expected, she is received with some suspicion by the inhabitants of the small Queensland township, but it falls to the lot of Phil Barton's young English jackaroo to be her first patient. When he is followed by his boss, events move swiftly …

Vivian Stuart was a British writer and during her writing career she had more than 70 books published in Australia, USA and the UK.
Born in Berkshire in England, she spent most of her youth in Burma and India, and later lived in Hungary and Australia. At the age of thirty-five she began to write romantic fiction but soon devoted her attention to military and historical novels.
