About the book
If only two weeks could turn into a lifetime.
Charity's job as a typist at St. Augustine's Hospital certainly kept her busy but she longed for something more--something exciting in her life.
So when the renowned Professor Wyllie-Lyon offered her a job at his private clinic, Charity accepted. She was thrilled to work for the brilliant and handsome doctor and to accompany him on a business trip to Norway.
She was less than thrilled to find herself dreaming of a future with the professor--a future she'd heard was reserved for someone else.
