  Lady Kiera Darby and her dashing husband, Sebastian Gage, hope they've finally found peace after a tumultuous summer, but long-buried family secrets soon threaten to unravel their lives . . . 
   
   
   
  October 1832. Kiera is enjoying the slower pace of the English countryside. She, Sebastian, and their infant daughter have accompanied her father-in-law, Lord Gage, home so that he can recuperate from the injuries he sustained in a foiled attempt on his life. But as the chill of autumn sweeps across the land, they receive a summons from an unexpected quarter. Lord Gage's estranged uncle—a member of the notorious Roscarrock family—has been murdered, and his family is desperate for answers. Despite Lord Gage's protests, Kiera and Sebastian press on to Cornwall to assist. 
   
   
   
  It isn't long before they discover that almost nothing is as it seems among the Roscarrocks, and they've been lured to their isolated cove under false pretenses. There are whispers of a lost treasure and frightening allusions to a series of murders stretching back decades that touch the lives of the family personally. Kiera and Sebastian are left with no choice but to uncover the truth before the secrets of the past threaten to destroy them all.

  A majestic novel of Florence Nightingale, whose courage, self-confidence, and resilience transformed nursing and the role of women in medicine 
   
   
   
  Sweeping yet intimate, Flight of the Wild Swan tells the story of Florence Nightingale, a brilliant, trailblazing woman whose humanity has been obscured beneath the iconic weight of legend. From adolescence, Nightingale was determined to fulfill her life's calling to serve the sick and suffering. Overcoming Victorian hierarchies, familial expectations, patriarchal resistance, and her own illness, she used her hard-won acclaim as a battlefield nurse to bring the profession out of its shadowy, disreputable status and elevate nursing to a skilled practice and compassionate art. 
   
   
   
  In lush, lyrical detail, Melissa Pritchard reveals Nightingale as a rebel who wouldn't relent—one whose extraordinary life offers a grand lesson in inspired will.

  In an era determined to silence women, two sisters must decide what it means to be truly seen. 
  Vancouver, 1928. Change is sweeping across Canada as the courts prepare to decide whether women are to be recognized as “persons” under the law. Inside the gilded walls of The Hotel Hamilton, Clara and Louisa Wilson grapple with questions of love, ambition, and the roles they are expected to play—decisions that could alter the course of their lives as profoundly as the verdict unfolding in court. 
  For Clara, The Hotel Hamilton has always been both a responsibility and a refuge. But as she steps into the role of temporary hotel matron, she finds herself torn between the value she discovers in her work and the life she might forfeit if she chooses marriage—convinced she cannot have both. 
  Louisa, never one to remain silent, divides her days between her duties as a maid and a flourishing career on stage. After months of captivating audiences, her sights are set on Hollywood. But when a new director reduces women to mere ornaments in his productions, Louisa must summon the courage to speak out and trust her own talent to carry her forward—or risk losing the future she has fought to claim. 
  As the Wilson sisters wrestle with loyalty, love, and the pursuit of independence, the ripples of the Persons Case echo through their lives, compelling them to ask: Who decides a woman’s worth? And how far will they go to seize it? 
  Sweeping in history and rich with emotion, Whispers of Her Worth is a powerful story of sisterhood, resilience, and quiet defiance. This unforgettable chapter of The Hotel Hamilton Series will immerse you in its world and echo in your heart long after the final page.
