The Healer's Apprentice by Melanie Dickerson
Rose, the oldest daughter of a woodcutter, knows how fortunate she is to be allowed to work as an apprentice to the healer at Hagenheim Castle. Not only does it allow time away from a mother who is not too kind, she is hoping she will be able to escape from the marriage her mother has planned for her to a disgusting merchant.
As the healer's apprentice, she is the one who must attend to Lord Hamlin's wound when he is injured while searching for the evil man who has threatened his betrothed. As Rose attends to his wounds, Lord Hamlin and Rose become friends, but both of them know that they have to keep their growing feelings at bay because they can never be more than friends.
Rupert, Lord Hamlin's younger brother, is known as a rogue and ladies man and has suddenly taken an interest in Rose and she is wondering if maybe he could be the one for her.
This is a quick young adult read. It is gets a little predictable, but is still entertaining.
