A cure for the soul

XI Premio Vergara for the Best Romance Novel

Two arrogant souls condemned to understand each other. Can a duke and a working woman from Victorian London bridge the chasm that separates them?

Paige Clearington has fulfilled her childhood dream: to become a doctor. However, recently graduated from the London School of Medicine for Women, she will have to face an unexpected challenge: to cure the son of the Duke of Breighton under duress. Diphtheria and the feelings inspired by her patient's father will mark days full of fear, but also of unexpected tenderness.

Maximilliam Hensworth leads a reclusive, rigorous, perfectly structured life. His son's sudden illness and the need to accept treatment from a young doctor – the only person who seems to know how to save him – will test his patience and also his deepest principles. The doctor is insolent, haughty, and terribly unsuitable, but she awakens a passion in Max that he thought he had forgotten.

Can love be born in the most inhospitable times? Will Paige and Max manage to overcome all the obstacles that separate them?

A story full of sweetness and emotion, set in a London that did not allow its women – nor its dukes – to be free.
