    From USA Today bestselling author Audrey Blake comes a story of love, hope, and perseverance, following one woman's fight against an invisible enemy. 
    One woman physician. A group of talented midwives. A deadly disease spreading. 
    1849. Dr. Nora Gibson is the only female surgeon in London. In all of England, even. After earning her medical degree and overcoming the prejudice of those who wished to see her fail, she's finally earned her place at the Great Queen Street Hospital alongside her newlywed husband and her eccentric but ailing adoptive father, the great Dr. Horace Croft. 
    But peace is hard to come by as a physician, and for one like Nora, it's almost impossible. When Nora takes up the fight to bring midwives into the medical field, her already fragile reputation comes under fire by colleagues and London society itself. And if the possibility of losing her rights to practice medicine wasn't enough, a dangerous enemy has made itself known: the deadliest cholera epidemic in over a century. It's a swift disease that wreaks havoc and tragedy across the city, especially amongst the working classes, and Nora will do anything she can to help. Soon, she finds herself on the frontlines of the disease, and as those around her begin to fall, she'll have to find the strength to stand alone and maintain her greatest oath: to save lives. Whether she'll make it through, though, is up to fate.

    Mixing Mystery and Romance in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail! 
    A high-society summer. A missing ring. A romance put to the test. 
    Henrietta Von Harmon thought accepting Inspector Clive Howard's proposal was the hard part—until she discovers he's heir to a North Shore fortune and she's expected to spend the summer at his family's sprawling Winnetka estate. While Clive returns to an important case in Chicago, Henrietta must navigate the treacherous waters of high society under the withering gaze of his mother, who clearly thinks her son could do better. 
    Finding herself more at ease with the servants than the family, Henrietta becomes intrigued when an elderly housemaid claims her precious ring has been stolen. But what begins as a simple mystery to prove herself useful spirals into something far more sinister. 
    As Henrietta uncovers long-buried family secrets—including shocking revelations about her own mother's past—she and Clive must confront hard truths about the worlds that divide them. And when danger from their past resurfaces in the last place they expect, Henrietta must decide: Can she truly belong in Clive's world? And more urgently—will she survive long enough to find out?
