May Wilde only wanted security. Having lived in harsh circumstances most of her life, she wouldn't dare dream of finding love.

Until he betrays her, branding her a thief. Railroad foreman Travis Worth finds it difficult to prove her fiancé wrong. But she is such a caring woman that she stirs in Travis the remembrance of his other life as a doctor before the war. A career he turned his back on when he failed to save the life of his best friend. But if May didn't steal the payroll, who did?
As May and Travis crisscross the Colorado plains searching for the real thief, they discover more than money. But can Travis let go of his wounded past? Will May believe that she is worthy of his love?

From Booklist:
Patricia loves to hear from her readers.
A Worth to Behold is her fourth historical romance and the second book in the Season of the Wilde Flowers Romance Series published for AVALON.
When the railroad's payroll turn up missing, May Wilde's sorry excuse for a fiance, bank manager Edwin Talbot, accuses her of making him misplace it. May finds an unlikely champion in Travis Worth, the railroad foreman who's come to the bank to collect the money to pay his men. But Travis, a former physician disillusioned by his stint as a Civil War battlefield surgeon, doesn't want to be anyone's hero--he's saving his money until he can escape to a tropical island and finish the rest of his life in peace. Things get ugly as Edwin spreads the rumor that May actually stole the missing funds, and soon, even Travis can't protect her from the unruly mobs of railroad workers who want their pay. Readers who like romances about Civil War doctors, such as Anita Mills' Bittersweet (1997) and Laurel Collins' Patchwork Angel (1998), will enjoy DeGroot's. Shelley Mosley
