Fever and Faith

Nora Callahan survived the famine, the crossing, and two years of London by making herself untouchable. She's the best nurse in a fever hospital that despises her for being Irish, poor, and a woman - and she has buried every soft thing she ever owned.

Then Sean O'Connor walks onto her ward and won't look away.

He's a dockworker's son in a gentleman's coat. A surgeon who can't stop trying to mend every broken thing in his path. He's opening a clinic in the worst slum in London, and he wants her at his side.

Night after night, across a cellar full of the dying, Nora learns the one thing that can undo all her armor: a man who truly sees her - and stays.

But cholera is rising up the river. The reformers are circling. And the secret Nora carries could destroy them both.

She has no use for a rescuer. He has never loved anyone he wasn't also trying to save. And the distance between a Cork nurse and a marquess's nephew is the kind that ruins people.

Unless, together, they can build a place where both belong.
