Fiercely independent Julia Bernay arrives in London to study medicine and become a doctor. The profession was only recently allowed women to participate. On her way to a lecture, the train is on is derailed causing serious injuries to some of the riders. She rushes to save the life of a young barrister, Michael Stephenson from bleeding out.
Micheal came from a family that lost its money and title due to his father's actions. Michael and his sister, Corinna, try to work together to build up the family name and regain what was lost. However, even with their best-laid plans, things have started to derail. Will Julia and Michael be able to love each despite their conflicting personalities?
I found the novel to be quite an enjoyable and fun read. I like how each character was well developed and continue to grow. However, I am a bit confused on what drew the two main characters other than the time they spent together learning Latin especially since they had conflicting religious viewpoints. Overall, the book was a good read and I look forward to reading more from the author.
