However the stress of the job is not leaving enough time for romance, not that Abigail ever let Trent get too far in that department.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ve always had playful banter, a good relationship, and yet the nuisance of a village wide affliction is clearly bothering Trent.<\/p>\n<p>Abigail has noticed it, even if she admittedly had been distracted by all the amazing trees surrounding this village, having always loved greenery and lush surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Asking Trent about the affliction facing the village, a population skewed towards being primarily men, her physician boyfriend quickly changes topics, mentioning that the most he can do is offer them vitamin treatments for the remaining month they will be there, saying there is a long shot solution but it&#8217;s not a guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of focusing on that, he decides that maybe it&#8217;s time Abigail finally get an afternoon out, to spend some time closer to the trees she is always staring out the windows at.<\/p>\n<p>But is there more to this little day trip than Abigail suspects? Are the trees truly safe in this remote jungle village?<\/p>\n<p>Abigail is the woman every man would want, but just what is the strange affliction affecting the men of the village, and what does that affliction have to do with her? Why are there so few women in the village, what happened to them?<\/p>\n<p>Most important, what will happen once Abigail finally does more than just look at the amazing trees in a small park on the outskirts of the village? What will happen when she touches them?<\/p>\n<p>Find out when the Kreme promotes third world medical treatments like never before&#8230; the cure for what all men suffer at some point, a cure that might just come from seeing a woman get Tree Hugged.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/735518\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B073VQVVNX\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Something isn&#8217;t right in the village where Doctor Trent Matheson finds himself working alongside his girlfriend Abigail.
