  In 1951 New Orleans, Laura Marino works as a nurse at Charity Hospital. She's been home from World War II for six years, but peacetime has brought its own challenges. She's frustrated at work, and her childless marriage to Nicholas, a surgeon she met in the Army, is strained.  
   
  Laura is devastated when news arrives that Frances, her best friend from the front, has taken her own life. Turning to the wartime journal she has kept hidden away, Laura is plunged back into memories of the bonds forged amid chaos on the front lines of North Africa, during the siege of Anzio, and at a refugee camp in Italy.  
   
  While her husband takes on an overseas assignment, Laura wrestles with her grief and guilt over Frances' death. Then she meets Boyer, a wounded veteran who shares her pain. Their connection is intense-and dangerous, threatening to upend her life entirely.  
   
  Triage is an intimate portrait of a woman's hard-won journey through love, loss, and a quest for redemption.

  Return to mysterious Measham Hall in this page-turning tale of espionage and intrigue in the years leading up to the Glorious Revolution of 1688. 
  For Nicholas Hawthorne, the Catholic heir to Measham Hall in Derbyshire, subterfuge is part of everyday life. But there are deeper and darker secrets even than his family’s outlawed religion: why is his father, Sir William, so reclusive? What became of his mother, and his aunt Alethea? And who fatally betrayed his cousin Matthew? 
  Nicholas is determined to find out, but as England slides towards invasion by the Protestant forces of Prince William of Orange, he becomes entangled in conspiracies within King James’s court – and soon learns that both truth and love come at a high price…
