Synopsis

Dr. Rosalind Werner is at the forefront of a groundbreaking new water technology--if only she can get support for her work. Nicholas, Commissioner of Water for New York, is skeptical--and surprised by his reaction to Rosalind. While they fight against their own attraction, they stand on opposite sides of a battle that will impact thousands of lives. As a biochemist in early 1900s New York, Doctor Rosalind Werner has dedicated her life to the crusade against waterborne diseases. She is at the forefront of a groundbreaking technology that will change the way water is delivered to every household in the city--but only if she can get people to believe in her work. Newly appointed Commissioner of Water for New York, Nicholas Drake is highly skeptical of Rosalind and her team's techniques. When a brewing court case throws him into direct confrontation with her, he is surprised by his reaction to the lovely scientist. While Rosalind and Nick wage a private war against their own attraction, they stand firmly on opposite sides of a battle that will impact far more than just their own lives. As the controversy grows more public and inflammatory and Rosalind becomes the target of an unknown enemy, the odds stacked against these two rivals swiftly grow more insurmountable with every passing day.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Elizabeth Camden has such smart heroines, and brings to life such fascinating slices of history!

This book is a lovely companion piece to A Dangerous Legacy and takes us back to gilded age New York. As per always, Camden's ongoing fictional intention is the promotion of women in interesting occupations usually dominated by the men of their period. Rosalind Warner is a doctor and biochemist in N......more

Nunca me había parado a pensar que puedo beber agua del grifo tranquilamente gracias a unas personas que se les ocu......more
