“A compelling historical novel steeped in mystery with strong elements of a medical thriller.” —Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews
“Beauty is power,” Dr. Rome told her. “And with enough power, one can achieve anything.”
Straightening noses, trimming eyelids, lifting jowls … In the year 1907, his revolutionary beauty surgery is considered daring, perhaps dangerous. Still, women want what Dr. Rome promises.
Neither is his young assistant Abigail Platford immune to Dr. Rome’s persuasive charm. Abigail once dreamed of becoming a doctor, though of a much different sort. That dream ended with her father’s tragic death from a medical error for which she holds herself responsible.
