From acclaimed author Megan Chance comes this provocative and compelling novel of passion and liberation.
Lucy Carelton comes from one of the richest and most pedigreed families in 1880s Gilded Age New York city, but being the perfect society wife is becoming increasingly difficult for her. Hysteria and laudanum seem to be her only escape from her domineering husband and father; she longs for something she cannot name, and after seeing numerous doctors, she believes she might never find relief.
Then she meets Dr. Victor Seth, a controversial neurologist. When her husband hires him to fix her, Lucy is reluctant. There's something about Dr. Seth she doesn't like, something almost frightening about him. But Victor Seth promises salvation, and his methods are unlike any other doctor's. Soon, Lucy finds herself responding eagerly to his treatment and Dr. Seth's promises.
But the enigmatic doctor has his own plans, and before long his actions have consequences that no one could have expected ... least of all Lucy herself.
