  A novel about one of the largest land deals in history, the Alaska purchase. 
  In 1866, the failed assassination of Alexander II unfolds a series of events that coerces him into selling Alaska to the United States a year later. Meanwhile, Native Alaskans are stuck between the changing order. Some try to fit in while others attempt to fight back. Further south, in a deeply polarized post-Civil War America, the plans of President Johnson conflict with his Secretary of State's ambition to acquire Alaska. An approaching impeachment pressures Johnson to attempt to sabotage the deal. Behind closed doors, however, a powerful banking family is awaiting a long overdue payment from the Russians, but there is only so much gold to go around.

  She risked everything to heal the wounded. Now she must fight to rebuild her own life. 
   
  Shamrock Ridge, Colorado Territory, 1868. 
   
  Sarah Dunne arrives with little more than a worn carpetbag, a horse, and a past she cannot speak of. Trained as a doctor during the war, she treated the wounded until she was captured and held as a prisoner. Now barred from practicing medicine, she takes work as a nurse, knowing her skills far exceed the title she's been forced to accept. 
   
  The town is still recovering from the war, and Sarah is determined to stay quiet, keep her head down, and help where she can. But soon she is pulled into the lives of the people around her—a child in need of urgent care, and a local doctor who sees her as a threat. 
   
  As buried secrets begin to surface, Sarah must choose between silence and truth, safety and courage. Can she reclaim the life she once fought for, or will the past destroy her second chance? 
   
  Perfect for fans of clean historical romance and strong heroines, Sarah's story is a powerful tale of resilience, healing, and the hope found in unexpected places.
