A gentleman determined to make history. A lady committed to shaping the future. A shared passion that could make all their dreams come true.
Harrison Stafford, the future Baron Chelton, cannot prove he's found a medical miracle drug, and his once-promising research is doomed. When a woman scientist offers hope of saving his life's work, he vows to treat as he would any other laboratory partner. That would be so much easier if he didn't find his brilliant new colleague so beguiling.
For years, Adelia Dawson has fought convention to become a doctor, and now her last hope of earning a spot in medical school is proving the import of Mr. Stafford's discovery. She maintains a professional distance from her fellow researcher until she catches a glimpse of his passionate nature under his cool exterior.
The fervent meeting of their minds leads to a deep bonding of their hearts. But when their research unravels and forces them onto opposite sides of a professional rift, they risk forfeiting a place in history. Will they also lose their chance at a love for the ages?
