The Red Rose (Bailey Rose, M.D. #4)
Jenny Haley
Dr. Bailey Rose is the Red Rose now, an accused murderess assigned a titillating brothel name by the horrible press, caged in a dark cell, bound for the gallows. But none of that matters.
She feels the dark wing of a depression unlike anything she could have envisaged brush across her. She understands now why people take their own lives; the despair is truly all-consuming, imagining a lifetime of moments ticking by slowly without him. But Bailey Rose is brave and strong, and she chooses to live.
I will trust and not be afraid.
She will spend her life in jail or go to the gallows, and Jacob will carry on. He will marry the mother of his unborn child, become mayor, and change the world someday. His children will change the world, and their children, and theirs. He is a great, great man—not just because she loves him, but because he is touched by some kind of unknowable, incredible, magical goodness—and he needs to have a powerful place in this world, unfettered by scandal. She can give him that much.
I will trust and not be afraid.
But Bailey Rose has extraordinary friends. Unbeknownst to her, an unseen angel is doing heroic detective work to reveal a shocking deception. A charismatic young lawyer is constructing a brilliant defense. Jake never falters, forging a path to his Rosie, come what may. And in spite of truly abominable secrets that come to light, the Red Rose will endure.
The Bailey Rose, M.D. Series:
San Antonio, 1891. For Bailey, Jacob is a majestic boy she thought she may have simply imagined as part of some ephemeral childhood dream. But she soon discovers that Jacob is real flesh and blood, and he’s a successful political comer, determined to bring great progressive change to the city but unwilling to sacrifice those goals by bucking the establishment to support Bailey’s unorthodox ideas for the care of the prostitutes in the Red Light District. The indissoluble tie that binds them together, one formed in an enchanted childhood encounter, has grown into one fueled by intense passion and an inexplicable soul-connection. Events force them apart and push them together again: a sweet suitor who seems to be a safe match for Bailey, horrific family secrets, a murder indictment and trial, Jacob’s conniving fiancé, and a plot twist involving an unfathomable threat from their past.
An inspiring tribute to the pioneer women doctors who braved ridicule and prejudice to care for the very neediest—and to the men who loved and supported them. Historical romance, mystery, magical realism—and a touch of the paranormal—seamlessly blend in this series of the impossible, enduring love of a strong heroine and the man who loves her.
