  Cassandra Lightman grew up making trinkets and toys. She was on her way to inventing a "flying machine" when she was committed to a sanatorium for hysteria. That's where Dr. Timothy Brown found Sandra and saw her promising intelligence. After Sandra shows Dr. Brown how to cure hysteria in women, she begins to work under him in his medical practice. Since Sandra cannot practice medicine and has no support from her family, she must carry on her position in secret. She goes into Dr. Brown's office through the back door, speaking to no one, and always covering her face.
  Sandra soon meets Bedelia Morten, one of her patients behind the red curtain. Bedelia Morten is an upper class wife with a banker husband and three children of her own. She suffers from insomnia and nightmares, which leads her to seek out Dr. Brown's practice. Though Bedelia is initially skeptical of Sandra's skill, she soon learns to appreciate Sandra's talent and company. 
  When their relationship becomes too close, Sandra is encouraged by Dr. Brown to invent a "stand-in" for herself. Sandra goes back to her experimental roots and visits her idol-inventor Marlin Manchester. Sandra works many long nights in hopes of creating the first steam-powered vibrator. When Sandra's invention takes off, she is forced to reconsider her role both in and out of the examination room, her future, and who she wants by her side.

  What happens when the confirmed bachelor and K9 veteran falls for the one woman who has no intentions of ever settling down?  
  Sure, he has biceps the size of my thick thighs and a rugged lumberjack exterior that satisfies all of my fantasies about climbing a man like a tree, but I'm not looking for a relationship—especially with a confirmed bachelor. 
  Besides, I'm also happily single and don't plan to change that. Ever. 
  Maybe it’s my hyper independence that keeps me firmly in bachelorette territory… 
  Or maybe it’s that every relationship in my family has devolved into a bitter, messy divorce and turned those of us within blast radius into jaded bystanders. 
  Still, Michael Kemp is fun to play with. 
  I crave him like a puppy craves a treat. 
  We can mess around and enjoy each other until something else comes along, right? 
  Even if I do catch feelings, he never has to know. 
  So why do I feel like he’s the one who not only caught feelings, but is ready to walk down the aisle? Is it the lusty haze and afterglow of our red hot attraction making him believe he feels things for me that he can’t possibly feel? 
  Is that also what makes me feel like I can’t breathe when we’re apart? 
  I have to call off whatever this is before one of us gets hurt, only he’s not making it easy. 
  He says we fit together inexplicably. 
  He says he craves my touch, my time, my insatiable spirit. 
  He says I’m his. 
  But can I accept that he is mine?
