Mistrust and Medicine in Mistletoe — Ronna Bacon

Arriving in Mistletoe to find he is a descendant of one of the town's founding fathers, Levi Blackwell searches for a place to fit in. On the run from an abusive stepfather who will stop at nothing, including murder, to get her share of the town property, Julia Bronagh comes under Blackie's protection. Keeping her safe means putting his own life on the line. Falling in love with her was not what he thought would happen, but God had other plans. Staying barely one step ahead of their pursuers, Blackie and his Jewel come to realize just how much God cares for them and how much they care each other.
